Navigating Nonspeaking Autism: Support for Families with Jordan Arogeti

When parenting meets profound autism, support needs to evolve—fast. On this episode of Inchstones, Sarah Kernion sits down with Jordan Arogeti, founder of Support Now, for a raw and honest conversation about what modern families actually need. From the realities of raising neurodivergent children—including those with apraxia or profound autism—to the deep loneliness many parents face, this discussion breaks through surface-level solutions and gets into the truth of caregiving in today’s world. They talk about how asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s survival. And how platforms like Support Now are reshaping how we view community support, especially in the autism and neurodiversity spaces. Whether you're raising a child with complex needs or trying to show up for someone who is, this episode offers a new framework for what real, meaningful support can look like—inch by inch.
