About this listen
When public figures make harmful claims about autism, the impact ripples far beyond headlines. In this powerful episode, matrescence coach and mother of a neurodivergent child, Kirsten Killoran, responds to recent comments by RFK Jr. with clarity, compassion, and fire.
This episode explores:
The real emotional toll of blame-based narratives on parents
Why pathologising neurodivergence is more harmful than helpful
What research and experts actually say about what supports families
A deeply personal story of internalised stigma — and healing
A hopeful vision for what truly inclusive care could look like
Whether you’re a parent, professional, or simply someone who wants to better understand the lived experience behind the labels, this episode is a call to think deeper, speak kinder, and act better.
🧡 You are not alone. You are not broken. And your child is not a tragedy.
