Episode #31: Rethinking Autism: How Neuro-Affirming Practices Help Your Child Thrive

In this episode, Zazi and Tess dive deep into the world of autism and neurodiversity. We’re breaking down common misconceptions—like the idea that neurodiverse brains are "broken" or need to fit into a mold of "normal." Spoiler alert: they don’t! Together, we’ll explore why neuro-affirmative practices are the best way to support your child’s unique strengths and needs. You’ll learn how environments, not individuals, can be disabling and how you can create a more supportive world for neurodiverse children. Whether you're a parent or an educator, this passionate and down-to-earth conversation is packed with insights to help your child thrive just as they are.
