Navigating Autism Treatment: A Parent's Guide w/ Jonathan Alderson

In this episode, we’re diving into the very overwhelming world of autism therapies and treatments—because why are there 500 options and zero clear answers? We talk about how we figure out what actually makes sense for our kids (not just what everyone on the internet says we “should” be doing), why every child’s needs are different, and how our family dynamics play a bigger role than people realize. We also get into the pressure we feel after diagnosis, what advocacy actually looks like in real life, and how we choose therapies that align with our family values—not just what looks good on paper. We break down helpful frameworks like the readiness model and the PACT approach to make all of this feel a little less like throwing darts in the dark. And as always, we share our real-life experiences—the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
