    Paul Skenes & Angels in the Outfield w/ Johnathan Rochford

    Sometimes inclusion looks less like a program and more like getting to step onto the field and be one of the players. In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy is joined by his son Johnathan to talk about an unforgettable experience: attending a Special Olympics baseball clinic at PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. From being inside a Major League ballpark to learning, playing, and connecting with others, Johnathan shares what it was like to experience baseball in a place where athletes of all abilities were welcomed and celebrated. But this episode is about more than baseball. Jeremy and Johnathan talk about why opportunities like this matter so much for neurodivergent kids and their families—and what can happen when we stop focusing on limitations and start creating places where people can participate, contribute, and belong. It’s a conversation about confidence, inclusion, trying something new, and the power of being given a chance to step onto the field. Because sometimes a great day at the ballpark becomes a reminder of something much bigger: everyone deserves a place to play.

    On The Journey - Pilot Episode w/ Tommy & Jeremy

    Introducing: "On The Journey" What does it look like to discover you're autistic later in life... and then decide you're not going to stay stuck and live life beyond the diagnosis? On The Journey is a new recurring segment on NeuroFM where autistic men pull back the curtain on their lives with honesty, humility, and hope. These aren't polished success stories or experts pretending to have all the answers. They're real conversations about the challenges they've faced, the mistakes they've made, the victories they've celebrated, and the practical steps they're taking to grow into healthier, more emotionally mature men. Whether you're newly exploring the possibility of autism, recently diagnosed, or years into understanding yourself, On The Journey is a reminder that growth is possible. Together, we'll explore what it means to become more regulated, more self-aware, and more connected—not only for ourselves, but for our wives, our children, our families, and the people we love most. Because a diagnosis isn't the finish line. It's the beginning of a journey toward becoming the best version of yourself.

    My Autistic Diary: Regulation & Relationships

    Have you ever ruined a perfectly good day because it didn't go according to plan? That's exactly what almost happened to Jeremy during his son's Special Olympics soccer camp. He arrived excited to support his son, but before long the schedule felt disorganized, communication was unclear, and the uncertainty began pressing on every part of him that craves structure and predictability. His familiar conflict cycle started to emerge: rising frustration, tightening expectations, and the quiet belief that someone else needed to fix the situation before he could enjoy it. In that moment, Jeremy had a choice. He could spend the day fighting reality, or he could regulate himself first. In this episode, Jeremy shares how changing his expectations transformed the entire experience. Rather than trying to control the environment, he learned to manage his own nervous system, embrace flexibility, and become fully present with his son. The result wasn't a perfect day—it was a connected one. If you've ever found yourself frustrated because life, marriage, parenting, or even a family outing didn't unfold the way you expected, this conversation will help you recognize your own conflict cycle and discover how regulation can create connection, even when life refuses to follow the script.

    Why Hard Things Are Worth Doing w/ Johnathan Rochford

    For many families, opportunities like Special Olympics are about far more than sports—they're about belonging. In this episode, Jeremy sits down with his son, Johnathan, to relive an unforgettable week at Special Olympics Soccer Camp. Together, they talk about everything from making new friends and learning new skills to the excitement of competing, growing in confidence, and experiencing the unique community that makes Special Olympics so special. Through John's perspective, listeners get an honest look at what it's feels like to step outside your comfort zone and discover you're capable of more than you imagined. They also don't shy away from the hard parts. Camp was exhausting—physically, mentally, and emotionally—but as John shares, some of the greatest rewards come from doing things that stretch us. Whether you're raising a neurodivergent child, participating in adaptive sports, or simply looking for encouragement to embrace new challenges, this conversation is a reminder that growth rarely comes without effort, and that the experiences that leave us most tired are often the ones that leave us most changed. Join Jeremy and Johnathan for a heartfelt conversation filled with laughter, lessons, and a celebration of what becomes possible when we're willing to show up and give our best.

    Injury Update & A Deep Appreciation

    Sometimes life has a way of slowing us down in ways we never expected. After fracturing his sacrum, Jeremy suddenly found himself unable to do many of the everyday things he'd always taken for granted. In this deeply personal episode, he shares how that painful season gave him a fresh perspective—not just on his own limitations, but on the incredible ways Charity cared for him during the whole experience. What began as an injury became an unexpected lesson in gratitude, humility, and seeing the love that's often hidden inside ordinary acts of service. But this episode isn't really about a broken bone. It's about the things we overlook when life is moving too fast. Jeremy challenges listeners to pause and ask a simple but life-changing question: Who or what have I stopped appreciating simply because it's become familiar? Whether it's your spouse, your family, your health, your faith, or the countless blessings woven into your daily routine, this conversation invites you to rediscover gratitude before loss or hardship forces you to. Sometimes the greatest changes in our relationships don't begin with fixing what's broken—they begin by noticing what's already beautiful.

    When a Special Interest Becomes a Dream Fulfilled

    Most people know Jeremy Rochford as a coach, speaker, podcast host, and autism advocate. What many don't know is that before any of those things, he was a comedian. In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy shares the story of how comedy became one of the earliest tools he used to connect with people, navigate social situations, and make sense of the world around him. From performing stand-up and improv to eventually achieving a lifelong dream of opening for Christian comedian and author Bob Smiley, Jeremy reflects on how humor has shaped both his personal life and professional journey. He also shares why his wife, Charity, believes his ability to make people laugh is one of his greatest strengths—not because comedy avoids hard things, but because it helps people feel safe enough to face them. Jeremy also explores the surprising science behind humor and why laughter has become an important part of the NeuroFam coaching approach. Research consistently shows that appropriate humor can lower stress, reduce defensiveness, strengthen relationships, improve learning, and help regulate the nervous system. In a world where neurodivergent families often spend so much time focused on challenges, diagnoses, and conflict, comedy can create connection, build resilience, and remind us that joy is an essential part of growth. Whether you're a longtime fan of stand-up or simply curious why laughter matters so much in healthy relationships & joy building, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how one of Jeremy's special interests became an unexpected coaching tool.

    School's Out, Now What? Finding Purpose in the Summer Pause w/ Johnathan & Jeremy Rochford

    Summer has a way of inviting us to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and step away from the routines that often dominate the rest of the year. In this episode of NeuroFM, Jonathan and Jeremy sit down to talk about the joys of summer vacation—what they love most about the season, the adventures they look forward to, and why taking time to rest isn't just enjoyable, it's necessary. Together, they explore how summer creates space for families to reconnect, pursue hobbies and interests, and recover from the demands of work, school, and everyday life. But summer isn't only about relaxation. Jonathan and Jeremy also discuss how this natural pause in the calendar can become an opportunity to reset expectations, revisit goals, and prepare for the season ahead. Whether you're reflecting on what has been working, adjusting what hasn't, or simply creating a little more margin in your life, summer can serve as a valuable checkpoint rather than just a break. This lighthearted and practical conversation offers encouragement for individuals and families looking to make the most of the season while setting themselves up for success in the months to come.
