  • Summary

  • In this episode we talk with author Rebecca Vitsmun about her new book "Eliza Dee’s Universes."


    As an autistic mother with neurodivergent children, Vitsmun was inspired by her personal experiences to provide an accessible story that inspires creative imagination in readers of all ages and backgrounds.


    You’ll not only learn more about autism but also EDS, hyperphantasia and other “invisible” disabilities and how to spot them in your children. And while you shouldn’t rush in to diagnose or label your child, an accurate and timely diagnosis can be VERY helpful. We’ll also discuss what to do first, before getting your child diagnosed.


    Kids do well, if they can. If they aren’t doing well, there is something standing in their way. From a practical standpoint that means:


    • Focusing on your child’s strengths, not their weaknesses
    • Leaning in with compassionate curiosity instead of pulling back
    • What a shame spiral looks like and how to avoid it


    Finally, we’ll address how to advocate for your child in a school system that may not provide services for neurodiverse children.
