Autism Support That Actually Works Together: Multidisciplinary Care, Student Voice, and Real-World CoordinationWhat does true collaboration for autistic kids look like—and how do we keep their voices at the center?In this conversation, I sit down with Leila Farshidi to unpack what happens when schools, clinics, and families stop working in silos. We talk about the real gap between theory and day-to-day care, why feeding and sensory needs get missed, and how value-based care could change the “minutes on a paper” mindset in IEPs.You’ll discover why learner preferences should be assessed as carefully as skills, what weekly coordination can do that yearly meetings can’t, and how automation may finally reduce the load on families. We also ask the hard questions: When do we invite autistic students into decisions about their own support? And what happens to access when training quality varies so widely?I reveal the simple shift I wish schools made right now—and Leila shares the system she’s building to make it easier. There’s more in part two, including disparities across communities and what parents still need after diagnosis.About the GuestLeila Farshchian is a disabilities care provider with 30 years’ experience focused on Autism Spectrum Disorder. She leads a 70-provider practice in Northern New Jersey, founded ABA Toolbox (becoming Circathera: Circle of Care), and serves as Chair of Education and UN representative for the International Health Awareness Network—Global Schoolhouse, working to close the digital divide in care and education.If this episode helps, share it with a parent, educator, or clinician.

We get into what masking really looks like day to day, why it isn’t always a bad thing, and how to use it with intention instead of exhaustion.You’ll hear how Tara reframed ADHD and autism through lived experience, the surprising shift that made social situations less draining, and why focusing on strengths changes everything at home and in the classroom.

Autism, Addiction, and Real Recovery: My Conversation with Dr. Rob KellyAutism and addiction aren’t separate battles. In this episode, I ask Dr. Robb Kelly how brain change meets real-life recovery.I sit down with Dr. Robb Kelly to explore why masking can hide addiction, how trauma shows up differently for autistic people, and what actually moves the needle in recovery. We get into mindset vs. medication, the power of routine without rigidity, and a wild classroom experiment that re-shaped how I think about labels.You’ll hear how Dr. Robb approaches addiction when autism is in the mix, why family systems can raise success rates, and the simple morning shifts that can re-pattern a tough day. I also ask him the question many avoid: can addiction be cured—and what changes first when it is?If you’ve wondered how to support a loved one (or yourself) with both autism and addiction, this episode opens up a practical, hopeful path—without sugarcoating.About the GuestDr. Robb Kelly is a PhD psychologist and behavioral scientist with 30+ years of experience treating addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and dementia.

In this episode of Inside the Asperger’s Studio, we sit down with a clinician whose career spans more than two decades of hands-on, heart-centered work. Before becoming a psychologist, she spent over 20 years as an Occupational Therapist, specializing in supporting severely physically and developmentally disabled children and adults.

With advanced training in child-centered play therapy and filial therapy, she blends evidence-based modalities such as DBT, CBT, IFS, psychodynamic therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

For as long as I can remember, healthcare has been part of my identity. I started volunteering in hospice as a toddler and earned my nursing degree in 2009. Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked across clinics, triage teams, and school health programs—always driven by a passion for supporting families and creating compassionate care experiences.But everything changed when I received an adult diagnosis of ADHD, inattentive type. After years of being treated for anxiety and depression, this diagnosis reframed my entire life. Suddenly the overwhelm, the mental exhaustion, and the pressure to “keep up” in a neurotypical system finally made sense.Understanding my neurodivergence transformed not only how I see myself, but also how I show up as a nurse. I now recognize the hidden strengths neurodivergent healthcare workers bring—and the unique challenges they face. From masking and burnout to self-doubt and sensory overload, I’ve lived it all.Today, my mission is to help fellow neurodivergent nurses and healthcare professionals step out of shame, claim their strengths, and build careers that support their brains—not fight against them. With clarity, confidence, and compassion, I’m here to show that your neurodivergence isn’t a barrier—it’s a blueprint.Catherine's Resourrces:https://www.mdclifeandhealth.com/Contact Me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/reidmiles/https://www.twitter.com/AspergersStudiohttps://www.youtube.com/@AspergersStudiohttps://www.instagram.com/TheNeurodivergantConnectionhttps://www.facebook.com/TheNeurodivergantConnection#NeurodivergentNurse #ADHDNurse #ADHDInHealthcare #NeurodiversityAtWork #HealthcareBurnout #ADHDDiagnosis #NeurodivergentProfessionals #NurseLife #MentalHealthInMedicine #InattentiveADHD #MaskingFatigue #CompassionFatigue #NurseSupport #ADHDAwarenessHosted on Ausha.
