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.
We would love to hear your feedback on the podcast. Feel free to leave us a message or send us an e-mail at Tableforfivepodcast@gmail.com.

S20: Autism Behind Close Doors E5: No Reservations
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.

S20: Autism Behind Closed Doors E2: Elopement
In this episode, we talk about one of the most scary things as a parent to autistic children eloping.
It’s common for children who have autism spectrum disorder to run or wander away from caregivers or secure locations. This is called elopement. Elopement is common in children with autism and can be a traumatic situation for a child and caregivers. Understanding why your child elopes and how to prevent it may help decrease stress and prevent accidental injuries.
We discuss some of our greatest fears, some situations we have been faced with with our children, and the heightened safety precautions we have to put in place to keep our kids safe.

S20: Autism Behind Closed Doors E1: Aggression
This episode takes us behind closed doors to talk about something that affects many families in our community: aggression. There's a hidden shame that goes along with aggression. Please take a seat at the table as we openly discuss how this has affected our families. It was not an easy conversation to have. We try to share as much as possible from our five different perspectives about what these topics look like in our homes.
Reported prevalences of aggression in ASD are 35-50%.
*This might trigger some feelings if you have dealt with aggression in your home.*

What is Intimacy?
Intimacy refers to the level of closeness between two people. It can be expressed in various forms and is not limited to romantic or sexual relationships. There are different types of intimacy, including physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
In this episode we talk openly about what intimacy in our lives currently looks like. The challenges to connect, the changes that have taken place over time, and tips on how to make things work when you just don't feel like being intimate.
We also discuss how intimacy can show up in different relationships in our lives. It isn't always easy to talk about what makes you feel close to someone or what is lacking your relationships. We get venerable and discuss some of things that work and don't work.
