Understanding Autism Together: A Father & Daughter Perspective – Part 1

Jeremy Rochford sits down with a very special guest—his daughter, Corinne Rochford—for a deeply personal conversation about autism, identity, and what it looked like for their family to slowly connect the dots over time. Through humor, honesty, and heartfelt reflection, Corinne interviews her dad about the moments that led to his autism diagnosis, the fears and misconceptions he had to work through, and how understanding his neurodivergence reshaped the way he saw himself, his marriage, parenting, and relationships. Together, they explore the emotional tension between feeling “different” your entire life and finally having language that brings clarity instead of shame.In this episode, Jeremy opens up about the journey from confusion and masking to self-awareness and acceptance, while Corinne offers the unique perspective of a daughter watching her father become more emotionally present, self-aware, and grounded through the process. The conversation is filled with candid stories, generational insight, and practical encouragement for families navigating late diagnosis, identity shifts, or neurodiverse relationships. More than a conversation about autism, this episode becomes a story about understanding, connection, and how acceptance can transform not just an individual—but an entire family system."To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to [email protected]  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.
