  • 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.

From Outside Looking In to Knowing Yourself Through AuDHD
Q: Now, what was the process like for you going from a time when language didn't click to a realization that AUDHD was how your brain works?
Heather describes a gradual journey from a lack of language and late diagnosis to recognizing that her brain processes information differently, which reframed many past experiences as part of a neurodivergent pattern rather than personal failure.

How Simple Beats Can Help Neurodivergent Kids Feel Steadier and Seen
Q: What does a typical eight-week private drum therapy program look like?
It starts with goals from parents or adults, then progressively introduces simple, repetitive beats combined with breathing and tailored exercises; there's weekly homework, and sessions adapt based on what works for each client, including hands-on rhythm work and cognitive-emotional coaching.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two connected show formats center human stories with curiosity and empathy. One focuses on neurodivergent voices, lived experience, advocacy, creativity, and navigating a world not built for autistic minds; the other hosts reflective conversations about identity, resilience, reinvention, and the quiet moments that reshape a life. Across episodes, guests range from scientists and educators to artists, leaders, and practitioners who share honest, unfiltered stories rather than polished success narratives. Noteworthy is the emphasis on accessibility, belonging, and real-world impact, making it a compelling listen for listeners interested in neurodiversity, personal growth, and behind-the-scenes human journeys.
