Ep 27: We’re Back! (Sorry We Forgot To Tell You We Left!)

You Don’t Want a Hug, Right? The Hilarity and the Hard of Raising Humans with Neurodiversity

We’re back! As you may have noticed, we took the summer off of podcasting as our families navigated some big changes and milestones this summer. We didn’t mean to disappear, but we *may* have forgotten to tell you that we were taking a break. Sorry about that.

So today, we’re catching you up on all the changes in our lives during the last few months. Gwen is giving updates on all three of her kids –yes, you read that right: three. She’s covering Rylan’s adventures, Reagan adjusting to a new sibling, and of course, introducing their new family addition!

Meanwhile, Kristen shares how Graham is continuing to gain confidence, Jameson is loving school, and how Hayden has finally found a place in the world that feels well-matched to both his strengths and interests.

If your family has also been in a state of change this year, this episode will feel very relatable. Let's dive in!
