Description

On this episode, we're joined by Sean for our first ever live Christmas special recorded in front of our community.

We talk about what Christmas actually looks like with autistic kids — the pressure to make it magical, the year we realised they didn't care about presents, and why one parent picks up McDonald's on Christmas Eve to reheat the next day.

Sean shares the moment his girls stood up and delivered speaking parts in their school play after years of sitting in the corner with a tablet. We get into schools that actually meet kids where they are, the ones that don't, and a story about a boy who got cut from his nativity because he's autistic.

Plus — the spitting mystery that had everyone stumped until someone checked her back teeth.
