This podcast has changed my life as a parent to an autistic child (and as a person diagnosed with ADHD). Every time I listen to an episode, I gain new insight for myself and my child. You both truly fulfill the goal of “celebrating and illuminating autism.” And learning directly from autistics in...Read full review »

Neurodivergence demands an Holistic Healthcare Approach Seeking diagnosis for any neurodivergence is Diagnostic Allopathic Medicine is based on the siloing of care between specialists, universal care plans and a type of hierarchical paternalism that relegates the patient to the ignorant and...Read full review »

Just finished listening to Linda and Barry and Dave and I want to just say WOW! Linda, you are thoughtful, thorough, insightful and eloquent.

The hosts of this show are warm, intelligent and I believe deeply well intentioned. But Dr Prizant’s endorsement and completely unskeptical presentation of Spelling to Communicate aka Rapid Prompting Method is deeply concerning. This is pseudoscience at best. There is no scientific evidence...Read full review »

This show is great! The topics are timely and hosts are engaging! I have autism and would give this show 5 stars, but music and dialog over each other is distracting. Additionally, I need to listen to it in a queued playlist and the outro music for the last episode was 6:20 which is so hard to...Read full review »

My 6 year old is autistic and this podcast has helped me understand her so much. I’ve become quite knowledgeable on it and every day I listen to it I learn something new. Barry is outstanding, his voice is so calming. The guests are great. Dave is is not so bad either. This is 10/10.

As the mother of a newly diagnosed autistic teen daughter, this podcast has been a wealth of information for me.
starr71 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
I appreciate the I depth discussions with guests and hearing from so many autistic people. I do wish the hosts would repeat the names of books guests wrote at the end of the episodes and/or have guests state their websites or social media handles.

I have 6yo Autistic twins and I just received my own Autism diagnosis at the age of 37. I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now and it’s one of my favorite podcasts for all things Autism.

I just found this Podcast and I love it. The latest episode on the word “no” and understanding why my child may say “no” to me, was unbelievably helpful. As you guys were going through each of the areas, I could visualize exact situations with me and my son and see how I totally misunderstood...Read full review »
LearningParent via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
The premise set up in the intro (Barry as cosmopolitan academic and Dave as country bumpkin) starts each episode off on the wrong foot. From there, it’s difficult not to hear that dynamic play out in each episode (eg, in the one I was just listening to, Dave refers to himself as “the village...Read full review »

Such an amazing podcast. I look forward to Fridays and get so much out of every episode. Start with the episode on trust—incredibly helpful in understanding how my teen interacts with others. Then listen to every other episode, top to bottom.

Listening to this podcast helped me, for the first time in my life, feel like I wasn’t the only odd person out and I wasn’t alone on this alien planet.

Dr. Barry has changed our whole way of helping and loving our little guy. We in the beginning as most parents wanted to follow the “Norm” for our kids now as a whole we see our kids in a whole different light. We actually embrace and nurture their way of feeling, learning and just being them....Read full review »

I started to listen to the most recent episode but could not make it more than a couple of minutes. The background music during the interview was incredibly annoying and disruptive to me. Since it’s a podcast about neurodiversity, maybe you could avoid putting background music when someone is...Read full review »

I joined Dr Barry’s “fan club” after reading Uniquely Human. It’s by far the best resource I’ve found so far on our journey on the spectrum.

I loved this show about mental health and autism! It explains so much that I’ve been trying to advocate for my adult son with autism and he isn’t getting good treatment! Now I have tools to use to explain what we need!
