• E9: Hey Jealousy

  When Milo was diagnosed with autism just weeks after turning 4, and as his behaviors became more challenging, I struggled with envy toward other families. Sometimes, I still do. It’s not rational. I know every family has its own challenges, whether we see them or not. But it’s real. And we’re talking about it in this episode.Follow us on Instagram @beyondthelabel440.

• E8: Sister Sister - Part 2

  June & Milo.June is a bright, animated, and funny kid—and extremely stubborn. As the quintessential little sister, she wants Milo's attention, and she doesn’t care how she gets it.While we’ve been working on behavioral interventions for Milo at home and school, June and her four-year-old antagonizing ways have been... a challenge.They are at once enemies and the best of friends. They fight, and they laugh. They are always trying to get what the other has. They want to be together, but they also want their own space. Theirs is an evolving story of a neurodivergent and neurotypical sibling relationship—one that is still very much unfolding.Follow us on Instagram @beyondthelabel440.
