Join Heather & Kerissa as they share from an authentic & real-life perspective with in-depth conversations around neurodiversity, PDA autism profile, and the autistic experience. This, on occasion, includes sensitive and difficult topics. (Topics include but are not limited to mental health crisis, depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and suicidal ideation.) All listeners need to be aware of their own emotional well-being and ability to engage in such topics.
We offer connection, community & co-regulation. (And a few laughs!)
