Two Sides of the Spectrum

This is a regular inclusion on my list of psychoeducational resources I provide in my neurodiversity affirming evaluations I complete with children. I love the introduction of a variety of topics and how it helps direct me to other resources I can also direct families to. María Pitale, PsyD Licensed psychologist specializing in autism evaluations

As a licensed psychologist that works with autistic children and their families, I love the message of this podcast is to amplify autistic voices. It brings up great topics of discussion including the language we use and strategies to support autisitc kiddos.

As a mom of two autistic sons and a SPED teacher this podcast is a treasured find. I have already shared with other parents and coworkers and had such important conversations on all this draws attention to. I appreciate this perspective and all the research and support behind it, especially those of autistic voices. I know it will positively impact not only my parenting, but my teaching and how I goal write, celebrate, relationship build and meet the needs of my neurodivergent students.

As a parent this podcast of our 3 year old nonspeaking autistic son has been instrumental for us! Even early Episodes like 10, transforming the parent perspective resonated so strongly with us. And then episodes from autistic perspectives we make sure to listen to. Idos episode and his book changed our lives. I have been listening to this podcast for a year and don’t miss any of the new episodes, and continue to listen to older ones too. Compared to other podcasts out there this is leagues ahead in the neurodiversity movement and is a breath of fresh air regarding the ways to embrace autistics. Keep the eps coming!
