Beyond the Label Podcast

Milo has spent the last few years watching Ty and Nora leave together for soccer practices and games. He knows he can't go with them, and he's made up his own reason as to why not.

In this episode, we're talking about the realities of team sports, especially recreational sports for young kids, and how Milo and his needs fit, or don't fit, into that mix.

We talk a lot about an outing or an event being a "success" for Milo. But even small victories come at a cost. We're sharing another recent birthday party experience with a "behind the scenes" look at what it takes for us to attend as a family.

The last few weeks included Nora's 9th birthday celebrations at home, and an outdoor birthday party for several of the kids' friends at a local park - both challenging situations for us to navigate with Milo.
We're talking about how both experiences went, unpacking how Milo's ability to tolerate other peoples' birthdays has grown, and hear from some surprise guests.

Milo needs more paper - always.
Drawing has become his favorite activity over the last month or so, and his depictions of characters and scenes from Up, Despicable Me, Anastasia, and K-Pop Demon Hunters are scattered all over our house. 

He will take one scene - like the house from Up, floating in the sky, being held up by hundreds of colorful balloons - and draw it over and over and over again.

His renewed interest in drawing has become a new bridge in his communication with others - and given us a peek inside his imagination.

We're also sharing some quick back-to-school updates and a funny sibling story.

Topics discussed: autism, autism parenting, communication

A listener wrote in and asked how to help their family member whose young son was recently diagnosed with autism. Thinking through their question led us back to a moment in time several years ago, with Milo's diagnosis still recent and his physical behaviors still emerging. In this episode, we talk openly about what really would've helped us then, and what still helps us now.
