This episode not only dives into what is happening inside the brain of someone on the spectrum who is having a meltdown, but give tips and tricks on how to navigate through the rough times.

Do I have a treat for you today! Ms. Kathy Rodriguez, founder of the nonprofit, Safe Stage Spacing, talks to me about the amazing services she offers to those on the spectrum and their families. We all know that going to the doctor, moving out of one's home, or even getting a hair cut, can be sensory overload for someone with autism. No worries though.
