“Hearing John's and Heather's personal stories, and getting little snippets of how other parents are raising a twice exceptional child is incredibly encouraging. Knowing that other parents are facing similar challenges to what we face (and getting through it!) makes life seem more...”Read full review »

“Jon and Heather are a joy to listen to. It’s always nice to be validated, but I never realized how life-saving it was. The parenting fail stories are shared with love and humor and help me feel like less of a failure myself. Parenting a fringy kid is exhausting most days, but the fringy bit...”Read full review »

“I listen to several podcasts related to gifted/2E issues as well as homeschooling. The Fringy Bit makes me laugh and also makes me feel not so alone. I like that Jon and Heather balance each other out. They offer support and suggestions but are not trying to find ways to “fix” my child, which...”Read full review »

“I wish I would have had even half this information 18 years ago. Working through several significant losses, health issues, and anxiety with our 21 and 18 year old has been painful...

“There are supports for parents dealing with ASD, gifted, sensory issues, etc. But what if you have a kid who falls into a "grey zone"? That's where my kid is...everyone agrees she is likely gifted, everyone agrees that she shows ASD traits but no diagnosis because there is enough...”Read full review »

“The best part about this podcast is I learn useful life tips from people who are living it. It doesn't come from an expert, "talk down to you" approach like some podcasts on this kind of topic.
