  • So helpful on my journey

    I have a son with severe ASD who is mostly non verbal. This podcast has been invaluable to me when we are going through tough times and periods of challenging behaviors. She gets it which I value because there aren’t many of us dealing with these situations. Thank you Lisa, you’ve helped me more ways than you know !

  • I can now see the Forest

    Before I found Lisa I couldn’t see the forest through the trees and was spinning my wheels trying to prioritize everything except me and through her coaching recognized patterns made positive changes that benefit me (and ultimately my family)! I don’t just see the Forest better - I’m forging a clear path through the trees and owning it!

Ep 193: Overaccomodation with Dr. Taylor Day

Ep 193: Overaccomodation with Dr. Taylor Day

Ep. 189: Once More Like Rain Man with Bella Zoe Martinez
Q: What do you want people to know about you, about people with autism?
I want people to know that autism is a spectrum and that there are diverse stories within it, not just a single narrative.
Ep. 189: Once More Like Rain Man with Bella Zoe Martinez
Q: Tell us about the character, your character in Once More, Like Rain Man. How did you differentiate this character from the portrayal that you've seen of autistic individuals in film?
I based it off real life, and I know a lot of kids on the autism spectrum have issues with swearing because we cling to rules.

Q: What should parents do when their child expresses they can't go to school?
Instead of pushing back, parents should ask questions to understand what the child is feeling and experiencing.
