Interview with Dr. Temple Grandin - Replay
This week we are playing one of our favorite episodes, our interview with Dr. Temple Grandin.
We discussed sensory input, the frustration around communication, giving limited choices, transitions to adulthood, and how when you are looking for nothing, you might see everything.
Dr. Temple Grandin is a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. Facilities she has designed for handling livestock are used by many companies around the world. She has also been instrumental in implementing animal welfare auditing programs used by Mcdonalds', Wendy’s, Whole Foods, and other corporations. Temple has appeared on numerous TV shows, such as 20/20 and Prime Time. Her books include Thinking in Pictures, Livestock Handling and Transport, and The Autistic Brain. Her books Animals in Translation and Visual Thinking have been on the New York Times Bestseller List. Temple was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in September 2017 and, in 2022, was named a Colorado State University Distinguished Professor.
"Single most important picture that the Hubble took, and I learned about the story behind, and I wrote about the story behind that and wrote about it in my Visual Thinking Book. The scientist who did that wanted to take 10 days of precious observing time and point the Hubble at nothing, at nothing, and reviewers went you can't waste time doing that. When he pointed it nothing, he saw everything." Temple Grandin
Her most recent book discussed in the episode: Visual Thinking: 9781846046872: Amazon.com: Books
Other books: Amazon.com: The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum eBook : Grandin, Temple, Panek, Richard: Kindle Store

Goodbye Tabitha
In this episode, we bid farewell to our dear Tabitha, a cherished member of our table. She has decided to take a step back from sharing her journey. We'll miss the joy of spending our Mondays with her, her infectious laughter, and her occasional raps. Tabitha has been an integral part of our team, and while we respect her decision to take a step back, we'll certainly feel her absence on the podcast. We love you, Tabitha!

Revisit of S1: Talk Like a Mother Ep2: Just Bad Advice
Join us for a revisit of one of our fan favorite episodes!
We talk about all the unsolicited advice we received and still receive about parenting. Baby shower cards and the sweet messages that don't include the pressure we feel as new parents.
Breastfeeding, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Anxiety around taking a brand new baby home. The expectations that you have as a new parent and how we were blindsided about all the things not talked about.
Advice in public and how you are judged either way. Truth talk about what it is really like for new parents and for those of us with special needs children.

This week, we get to chat with Molly Seale. She is a vibrant and driven mom who writes about their beautiful family.
Molly lives in California with her husband and two children, Wynter and Storey. Wynter is their sweet, brilliant, blonde, curly-haired boy, and he is Autistic. Storey is their gorgeous, spirited, opinionated, daughter. She is currently in early intervention for developmental delays and "at risk for autism spectrum disorder."

We close out our autism behind closed doors series with a no reservations episode. We discussed how we felt about discussing more challenging topics and opening up to our listeners.
Some of the things we were able to reflect on in this series are that this life ebbs and flows, that feeling your feelings is okay, that we all learn as we go, and that sharing these parts of our lives is challenging in general.
We run down some tips on how you can support us when trying to share these parts of our lives.

Hear about their path to find the best care they could for their daughter when resources were limited, and the immediate need was extremely high.
