  • Enlightening… To Say The Least!

    I had the privilege of not just listening to this show, but being a guest on the show. Host Reid Miles is a terrific host with a wealth of information regarding ASD and ADHD. As I told Reid, I learned more about autism in 30 minutes on his show then I did in a lifetime before it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Surviving in Silence to Finding Your Voice After Autism and C PTSD
Q: Where can people find out more about you and reach you online?
You can find me across social media at Lawrence C. Empowers and on my website laurencecharrods.com.
From Surviving in Silence to Finding Your Voice After Autism and C PTSD
Q: How did you know you were making progress?
Progress showed up as waking up to small moments of beauty and neutrality, moving from constant struggle to a steadier baseline, and then to improved moods and resilience where past lows no longer dictated daily life.
From Surviving in Silence to Finding Your Voice After Autism and C PTSD
Q: What pushed you to start doing the deeper work?
A desire to be a good example for my siblings and a realization that I couldn't keep running from my history; journaling became the first step, followed by therapy and a commitment to changing how I think and act in the real world.
From Surviving in Silence to Finding Your Voice After Autism and C PTSD
Q: Now, what did SelfWorth look like before you versus now?
SelfWorth used to be almost non-existent, expressed through desperate need for attention in relationships and a cycle of seeking outside validation; now it's built through intentional self-care, boundaries, and choosing activities that genuinely feel good, which gradually reshaped how I treat myself and relate to others.
How One Autism Diagnosis Helped a Mother See Herself More Clearly
Q: What advice would you offer to parents who feel overwhelmed by their child's differences and the medical system's limitations?
Focus on self-regulation first, acknowledge that normality doesn't exist, and seek holistic approaches that combine care for both the child and parent. Build a support network, learn and practice co-regulation, and push for broader understanding beyond purely medical models.
