This podcast is a place where I share what I have learned, what I am still learning, and the unique tools that have helped so many families feel more calm, connected, and supported. Here, I presume competence, honor connection, and make space for hope for nonspeakers, unreliable speakers, and their families. You’ll hear interviews with parents and insights from nonspeakers and unreliable speakers. This podcast supports families with children across a wide range of diagnoses and experiences, including autism, apraxia, aphasia, Down syndrome, and more. If you know there is more to your child than the world may see - or hear, this podcast is for you. I keep the weekly episodes short, practical, and full of useful encouragement.

and while family life is busy

I’m also feeling unusually still with work.

I wanted to share a tool I’ve learned from my teacher this summer - called the safety sequence:

first ask, “Am I safe?” (and if the answer is no, make choices to get safe),

then ask, “Do I feel safe?” even when you are physically safe you might not FEEL safe.

and finally relax your body to help it feel safe.

Two ways to relax are the rag doll (going limp) and the physiological sigh (in, in, out).

I’ve been practicing this 1–3 times a day and have seen how it helps me stay present, regulate before hard moments, and handle conversations better.

She offered to do a session with me recording it, so you can hear what a session with me looks like and try the short visualizations along with us.

She describes a heaviness whenever she passes their spelling area, plus guilt about not being consistent enough, not being patient enough, and feeling like she’s failing her son.

We explore how transitions, physical prompting, and the need to be calm and present make spelling feel uniquely effortful compared to other household tasks.

Then using simple visualizations we clear some of the emotions and then create some new positive thoughts and emotions.

Feel free to listen and have the intention of clearing any similar feelings or thoughts you may have. And if it resonates, accept the positive replacement ones.

My trip began with two and a half days of peaceful, mostly still rowing, then shifted into exciting rapids on days three and four before returning to calmer water.

I relate this to life and relationships, using boundaries and “life jacket” self-care tools, and I share how unexpected “rapids” recently showed up in my Awesome Autism Tools business, helping me refine how I explain my work while I take part of the summer off and plan fall studies in nervous system support.

You can hear my episode about the "poop box" over on the Finding Joy in the Journey podcast.

We discuss how overwhelming a new diagnosis can feel and why it helps to clarify your health philosophy (allopathic vs. holistic) while staying open-minded and finding trusted people to talk to.

What if your child's symptoms aren't just "autism" — but signs of an overwhelmed body trying to heal? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Jeff Knight shares how cellular healing, detoxification, and addressing hidden stressors like mold, parasites, and generational toxicity can transform the lives of kids on the spectrum — and the families who love them. 💛

The film follows Joybubbles, a man born blind who learned to whistle into the telephone to make free calls in the 1950s and 60s as a “phone freak,” later working for the phone company and living independently, including in a high-rise apartment he’d long dreamed about.

He describes a childhood near-death experience involving “bubbles of love,” and how nonspeakers have described similar “love bubbles.”

Later, he watched Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood archives to heal.

Near the end of his life he created a phone-based “podcast” of joyful recordings people could call, then reach him personally for support.

The screening’s audio description also taught me new ways to make movies more accessible for blind loved ones and reinforced how essential communication and being heard are, especially for nonspeakers.

At times, Madison also says some of the words she spells. You may hear her communication partner say the words that Madison has spelled, and I’ve chosen to leave the interview unedited so you can experience her communication as it happened.

I’ll also share a video version on YouTube for those who want to see the spelling process in action, along with a transcript so you can easily see/hear Madison’s responses to my questions… you can access both at this link:

https://awesomeautismtools.com/madison-thoughts-about-the-hill/

Madison says spelling is rewarding because it lets her express her thoughts and feelings. We discuss “the Hill,” which Madison says she knew before the Telepathy Tapes. And we also cover a lot of other fascinating topics as well!
