  • ProPublica Shrub Oak Coverage

    Thank you for using the recent ProPublica investigation into Shrub Oak Int School as a platform to discuss ways in which we can provide equitable and meaningful support for autistic children and their families. Every thoughtful conversation raises awareness which is halfway to awareness on the way to advocacy.

  • Can’t get past it

    Host doing quietest ASMR voice while guests speak at a normal volume. This means you either have to constantly adjust the volume or get blasted with sound when the normal voices speak. Do they not listen once they’ve released it?

  • Misophonia

    I LOVE this show, but I can’t listen to it because the host puts her mouth too close to the microphone, making her mouth noises (clicking or popping) unavoidable no matter what I do with the volume etc. I can’t listen anymore, which is too bad.
