In this episode we talk about the recent autism press conference and all the different reactions it stirred up. We dive into how stories about autism get told, who gets to tell them, and why that matters. It is a look at how representation shapes what people understand and how sometimes some voices get heard more than others.

We also chat about what it really means to be part of a community. Everyday acts of showing up and listening can make a big difference. Along the way we share some listener messages from the UK, Canada, and Clemson that bring in personal stories about connection and support. It is a natural conversation about belonging and looking out for each other.
