Hey, listeners! Join us for this week’s episode as we revisit another favorite episode. This week Rachel choose our live in person podcast in Minnesota from May 2023. Recording the podcast live and in person was such an amazing moment for all of us, and we're thrilled to share it with you again.
Join us for our very first Live Podcast in Minnesota. We had the pleasure of joining our friends at the Care for Caregivers Retreated hosted by Finding Cooper’s Voice and The More Than Project. There is no doubt that the isolation of this life leaves moms of kids with additional needs longing for mom friends they can relate to. We were honored to be able to record and celebrate the fantastic caregivers in the room in Minnesota.
We answered questions from our listeners, played Friendly Feud, and thanked Kate Swenson for bringing us together. It was a magical weekend and something none of us will forget. Thank you to all the lovely speakers, the moms who took a chance to come and connect with others, and the Sheraton on Woodbury.
We are so grateful for the opportunity to sit a room together two years after our podcast launch and speak to a room of caregivers.

Hey listeners, it’s that time again for our summer replay series and this week is Jenn‘s pick! Jenn chose to replay Chelsey Hautz. Chelsey is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist that was pivotal in Kya's development. This is a very informative episode so take a seat and join us!
Chelsey Hautz, MScOT, BKin, practices as a pediatric occupational therapist in Vancouver, Canada. She has lived and worked in Canada, the UK, and Hong Kong. She believes wholeheartedly that we are built for connection and the meaning we cultivate within our own bodies, with others around us, and within the environments, we occupy from who we become and how we make sense of our lives. Her curiosities about the constantly changing field of neuroscience and the powerful connection between brain and body have led her to pursue a variety of post-graduate courses. She is committed to the learning and unlearning it takes to practice within a paradigm that values neurodiversity, inclusion, and autonomy centering on children and families throughout the therapeutic process.
We were blown away by this interview with Chelsey, not only does she take the time to understand her own personal growth as a professional but reflects on the growth of the children she works with by tailoring her practice to each individual child.
Chelsey was a huge part of Jenn and Kya's autism journey and made a lifelong impact on both of them. We learned so much and could talk to Chelsey for hours. Wait till you hear how she explains what occupational therapy is and why it is so important.
On this week’s episode we sit down No Reservations style and wrap up our The More We Know seriesso take a seat and join us!

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

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!

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." After a More Than Project Retreat, Molly was inspired to share 'A Wynter Storey' because the messy, hard, wonderful, and beautiful journey of special needs parenting is one that many don't see or understand.

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.

We had the pleasure of speaking to the fantastic Jessica Berger. She is a Mother to two daughters, Zoe and Piper, who live outside Philadelphia.
Her advocacy for her daughter is a truly incredible, breathtaking story. We admire her and her family's strength and honesty when discussing their journey.
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.
She discusses their path to getting their daughter into Kennedy Krieger and where Zoe is now. We talk about Aggression, obtaining resources during the pandemic, and what comes next for their family.

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.

This series discusses some things our families find hard to open up with others about that we fear sharing with others for various reasons. 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.If you like our podcast, please share, rate, and review it!You can find us at Table for Five, No Reservations | FacebookTable for Five Podcast (@tableforfivenoreservations) • Instagram photos and videosYou can also find us on our personal pages, where we write about our parenting at:Jenn Dunn at Keeping up with Kya | Facebook Jenn (@keepingupwith_kya) • Instagram photos and videosRachel Flanagan at FlanaVille | Rachel Flanagan (@flanagoods) • Instagram photos and videosJaime Ramos at Jaime Ramos Writes | Facebook (@jaimeramoswrites) • Instagram photos and videosKim McIsaac at Autism adventures with Alyssa | Facebook Kim (@autismadventureswithalyssa) • Instagram photos and videosTabitha Cabrera at Peaceofautism - Facebook Tabitha (@peaceofautism) • Instagram photos and videos--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talklikeamotherpodcast/message
Sometimes, we need to talk about the things that make us worry, angry, sad, and disappointed. All Mother's talk about things that their kids do that are hard to deal with. This episode breaks down how life can get you down sometimes. Hear from our perspective about the nitty gritty parts of some things we find hard to say. If you need to hear from someone this week who can validate that you are trying so extremely hard, and sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough, then this episode is for you.
We are sending all the love to our fellow caregivers this week.
Catch us in the next Tired As a Mother episode when we freely discuss what is bothering us.

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.

Join us as we look back at the series and close out our Special Education Behind the Scenes series. It was so lovely to have all of the professionals join us and to have our first-ever anonymous storytellers. We love it when we get to chat and reflect on the series.
In this episode, we talk about our experiences with our kids in the school setting and some of the challenges that come with sending our kids off to school. We have kids of all ages going into numerous grades and have similar feelings. If you are dealing with fights for support, the emotions that come with not knowing what your child's day looks like, or just generally fighting the good fight to get your kids what they need, we send all the love for a good school year.

Join us for our first anonymous storytellers episode from some of our listeners. We wanted to provide a platform to allow people to be honest and open about their journey. We hear stories from various school professionals and parents who honestly speak about the challenges and beauty that can come from working in special education.

This week, we had the opportunity to speak to the fantastic Carley Rae, who's spirit shines through with each word she speaks. In 2013, helped develop LEARN INC., a non-profit school for whole-person learning experiences that focused on individualized learning programs built around the unique needs of each student. We chat about the traditional education model and how education, as it is, often waits for our kids to fail before we can obtain the support they need in the classroom environment.
Carley's educational pursuits have included organizational development, non-violent communication, neuro-sensory systems, chronic pain management, diabetes prevention, dignified end-of-life experiences, psychology, and energy medicine. She has completed thorough training to teach evidence-based mindfulness and meditation practices. I use therapeutic touch, breath, mindfulness, and movement modalities for client-centered healing.
As an expert in movement, consciousness, and energetics specializing in personal development, she combines ancient spiritual traditions with powerful therapeutic modalities to help people relieve stress and achieve greater health outcomes.
To learn more about the amazing work that Carley does, reach out to her via her website if you would like to learn more about the training she can offer to teachers or educators in your school or if you are looking for support individually. You can also learn more about the Retreat on her website and Instagram.

This week, we had the opportunity to speak to Elissa McFarland, an intervention specialist for children with mild to moderate learning needs and Mother to two children. She loves her job. This school year will be her 13th year teaching. As a child, she received intervention services. In 3rd grade, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and later was diagnosed with ADHD. Having walked this path as a child has led her to her passion for helping students.
We discuss the school system, raising children who will need support from the public school system, and available services. We talk about her journey with special education services and their path to obtaining a diagnosis for their daughter. What she provides to her students and the families she works with.
Elissa has an amazing husband, Brandon, and their oldest, Aleena, is six and going into 1st grade. Their youngest daughter, Lexi, is four and starting preschool. Lexi is diagnosed with ASD, and the inspiration for my blog on Facebook is "Life with Lexi."

We love to talk about school as a new school year rolls around, and we look at sending our kids off to school for another year. We thought we would start with preschool and chat with Kaite, who has spent her time as a classroom special education teacher, coach, and on the child find team. We discuss early education and the importance of early education. Katie discusses how preschool can teach really how it is to be at school, a stepping stone for the rest of the school experience. We talk about inclusion, teaching kids early about differences, and how starting that early can make such a big difference.
Katie made a huge impact for Jaime and Jesse, we love her perspective on working with parents.
Katie Wyderko is a wife of a firefighter and mom to a 5-year-old girl. Early Childhood Special Education teacher for ten years and worked in preschool for 12 years. In her spare time, she likes to crochet and watch reality tv.

We had the fantastic opportunity to speak with the powerhouse couple Jerry and Jo-Ann from Bacon and Juiceboxes. The work they do not only to educate but to support the community around us is incredible. Taking their own life experiences to provide information and support to those around them. We discuss the importance of educating those around us about our kids, talk about their parenting journey, and their motivation and dedication is something we can all learn from.
Jerry and Jo-Ann have been married for 25 years. They have two kids Anna, who just graduated from High Point University, and Eric (19 years old). Eric was diagnosed with Autism at 2.5 years old. Jerry started Bacon and Juiceboxes in 2012. Shortly after, Jo-Ann also started sharing on the blog and Facebook page. Jerry wrote and published his novel (Desperate Pursuits) in 2020 and formed his company (Blue Bridge Autism Training) in the same year upon retiring from his police career. Now, Jo-Ann works full time and pours her free time into our non-profit (Special Wants), and Jerry delivers Autism Response Training to police and first responders worldwide while home-schooling Eric.

This week drop our cutest episode to date. Our kids take the mic. We took the opportunity to interview our children. You will hear that many of them have different communication styles, and we navigate our questions based on their style. Some of our kids are verbal, and some are not. We also had the cutest guest host on the planet. Then we had the opportunity to get our kids together to chat with each other on Zoom. One of the best things about having mom friends is our kids also get to connect.
Some of our kids have met in person, and some have met through the Internet. There is no doubt these kids have a connection, especially since they have spent two years watching their mom's podcast on Monday nights.
They not only share in their autism diagnosis, but they share in their mom's friendship with aunties across the country. Don't miss this one cuteness overload.

Jaime makes sure her kids have the best childhood memories, like cake for breakfast on their birthday, knock-out Halloween costumes, birthday parties with themes, and all the incredible love any kid could ask for. Beyond her mothering, she is a fantastic friend. She has the best oneliners that keep us laughing and will always show up with a supportive, understanding ear to listen to each of us, we often joke she is the face of the podcast, but we also admire her for her beautiful energy and spirit on the inside. She is also hands down the best dancer in the group. We love her honesty about herself as who she is to her core and the deep rich life experiences she has walked. Undoubtedly, we are fortunate to have her as our friend.

In this series, we wanted to answer some thoughtful questions. In each episode, we will peek into the mind, hope, dreams, and worries of one of the ladies from the table. In this episode, we talk to Rachel Flanagan. Rachel Flanagan is a mother to 8-year-old Seeley, Seeley, and a wife to Billy Flanagan. Seeley has the spirit of a warrior. She is bold, kind, energetic, and fiercely determined. They live in Minnesota, and her page on Facebook Flanaville on Instagram at Flanagoods, and her website of lovely goods at FlanaGoods
There is no doubt that Rachel is a gem of a human being. She shines her light on the world around her, is one of the kindest people on earth, and is so funny. Hear our thoughts about our friend at the end of the episode.
Some of the questions we answered:
What is your favorite place on earth outside of being with your family? What is something people would never guess by looking at you? Looking back on your life, who or what lights you up? What is your favorite childhood memory? How do you move through big feelings? Would you rather live one day longer than your child with additional needs or have access to the dream team and placement for them?
Here are the rest of the questions in the episode and a look into our hearts and souls. The following five weeks will be a look at all the questions for each of the ladies of the table for five.

We discuss what we learned about keeping our kids safe in the water. All of our autistic kids are drawn to water. Water regulates their system and also can lead to some scary situations. We discuss some of the challenges we have had keeping our kids safe around water. Here are some tips on how we do that.
As summer is approaching and we all venture out to pools, lakes, and other bodies of water, we thought it would be good to discuss swim safety. Frequently, we follow our kids into the water and make sure all eyes are as alert as possible.
Children with autism spectrum disorder are 160 times more likely to experience nonfatal and fatal drowning than their typically developing peers. This is due to their natural affinity towards water and tendency to elope.
Swimming Safety | Swim Safe | American Red Cross Here is a link to some free water safety courses through the American Red Cross.

We give you our best travel tips. All of us have traveled by plane and car with our kids, and we break down what has worked for us. We discuss TSA cares, the best items we have found to bring to make things a little bit easier, and how it has gone when we have decided to venture out into the world.
Our biggest takeaway is to keep trying. It might go perfectly, and you might have some bumps in the road, but our kids deserve to experience the world too. One thing we know to be true is you never know how it will go unless you take a chance and try it.

To say we are proud of how it went and all we have accomplished over the past two years doesn't fully express all the feelings over the weekend. There is something special about being together in person. Also, listen in to find out why this episode is called "You're Not Melissa!"
Our hearts are full after spending a weekend with amazing caregivers and friends.

Join us for our very first Live Podcast in Minnesota. We had the pleasure of joining our friends at the Care for Caregivers Retreated hosted by Finding Cooper’s Voice and The More Than Project. There is no doubt that the isolation of this life leaves moms of kids with additional needs longing for mom friends they can relate to. We were honored to be able to record and celebrate the fantastic caregivers in the room in Minnesota.
We answered questions from our listeners, played Friendly Feud, and thanked Kate Swenson for bringing us together. It was a magical weekend and something none of us will forget. Thank you to all the lovely speakers, the moms who took a chance to come and connect with others, and the Sheraton on Woodbury.
We are so grateful for the opportunity to sit a room together two years after our podcast launch and speak to a room of caregivers.

Join us for a chat about the upcoming Care for the Caregiver Retreat this weekend. Laurie Hellmann of Welcome To My Life - Skyler's World and Adrian Wood of Tales of an Educated Debutante will be speakers at the event and we got a little taste of their advice and knowledge. We will be hosting a live podcast during the event and can't wait for a fun time with all the caregivers!
Laurie Hellmann lives in Indiana with her husband Josh, her 17-year-old NT daughter Kendall and 19-year-old son Skyler - who has been diagnosed with severe, non-verbal autism and ulcerative colitis. Laurie authored the memoir Welcome to My Life: A Personal Parenting Journey Through Autism, hosts the podcast Living the Sky Life – Our Autism Journey and speaks on various topics related to autism and being a lifelong parent caregiver. The goal for all platforms is to empower families faced with an autism diagnosis as well as those who are open to learning more with insights, tools and resources to do so.
Adrian Wood is a rural Eastern NC mother of four, one with extra special needs. Past preschool teacher, nanny, children’s ski instructor, early interventionist, college professor, early childhood researcher, wife and full time mama. In writing after a twenty year hiatus, I offer personal glimpses where satire meets truth, faith meets irony, despair meets joy and this educated debutante escapes the laundry and finds true meaning in graceful transparency. You can follow Adrian’s story at Tales of an Educated Debutante on Facebook.

We break down sensory processing and how our kids take in the world. Sensory Processing Disorder is a condition in which the brain has trouble receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses. Some people with Sensory Processing Disorder are oversensitive to things in their environment. 80% of children diagnosed with autism also have Sensory Processing Disorder.
Our kids take in the world in their way, and often the world around them can feel overstimulating. We shift and monitor their intake of the sounds, textures, smells, and people around them to help them navigate the world outside our homes.
Navigating the outside world can be hard for our kids in a world filled with complex sounds and energy. We all have learned so much about watching the energy around our children shift to help support their sensory needs.

Have you ever wondered what some current slang and emojis mean? We were wondering the same thing ourselves. We talk in this episode about Gen Z, or as we learned, the generation, also known as 5G. We break down some of the current slang and find more information from Urban Dictionary. Want to use some additional emojis in your life? We will break down the current meanings. There is no doubt some of this was a big mystery to us all, and some of us are more hip than others in certain areas of the current trends of this generation. We love to drop as much information as possible on this podcast, and there is no doubt this one is filled with it. We have all decided that Table for Five is not only a snack but for sure, a meal (find out what that means if you don't already know in the episode).
We laughed so hard throughout this recording, and we hope to give you a good laugh on Monday morning as well.

We chatted with our friend Deidre Lueneburg, a speech-language pathologist, about her life raising three boys. Her middle son was diagnosed with autism at age four. We loved this discussion about the balance of therapy with what is practical at home. Get information about different speech types and what we have experienced with our kids. Communication is fascinating in all senses of the word, and we have balanced speech with providing communication to our kids. We discuss speech devices, pecs, scripting, and what has worked for us in our homes.
Deidre is a mom of three boys, a wife to her husband of 21 years, and has been a speech-language pathologist since 2009. Her middle son was diagnosed when he was almost 4 in 2016. Since then, she has been learning so much as a parent, including how to make the best of this "different" life we've been given. In the past few years, she has also decided to return to the schools as a jack of all trades, using her knowledge as both Mom and SLP to help even more kiddos, teachers, and families.

Have you ever considered what support you need in this life and parenting journey? Often as parents of children with additional needs, we have limited time left to share with ourselves. To truly reflect on the path we are taking and to understand where we are right now in the moment. We had the opportunity to speak with Lisa Candera, who helped us remember that it is not only about raising our beautiful children but also about understanding how important it is to reflect on our feelings and emotions on this path. Lisa is wealthy of knowledge. As a Mother, she understands our journey and looks at each person as an individual.
Lisa Candera is a full-time single mother to teens with ASD, OCD, and anxiety and a life coach for moms raising kids with ASD. She helps Type A Moms raising kids with ASD to prevent burnout.

We had the fantastic opportunity to speak with Dr. Temple Grandin. We are in awe of her wisdom and learned so much not only about her path in this world but the path our children take. A life-changing experience for the five of us at the Table. 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

In our final episode of the looking back series, we look back at an episode from series nine. We discuss the challenges around how much a lack of sleep can impact our lives. We look at our worth as women and human beings and the expectations others put on us. We talk about how to justify our place in the world and how we can sometimes overcompensate for the expectations out there.
We dive into our inner dialogue and how the things going on inside can be tricky to navigate.

We look back at our most listened-to stand-alone episode, Mothers and Mental Heath. We dive into an intimate look at mental health in women and the struggles we have all faced around the table with our mental health. We open up about depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. How these mental health conditions relate to our daily lives and the skills, we use to make our way through the hard times. You might find some tips in the episode that you can take with you in your own life.
Opening the discussions around mental health, in general, are so important. We share our path to let everyone out there know you are not alone if you, too, are feeling some of the same things as us.

We look back at our deep discussion on friendship in series four. This is a sensitive subject for us all as we have moved from single people to mothers.
We share some of the complicated ways that our friendships have gone, how we have learned to let go of some things that hold up back from keeping relationships, and how we found our friendship through the internet. We also talk about our children and how they navigate friendships around them.
How easy is it to find or maintain new relationships or keep old ones?

We had a great time playing a game with our listeners and discussed our upcoming event hosted by Finding Cooper's Voice and The More Than Project in April. Things have come full circle. We are so excited to be part of the Caregiver's Retreat.

In this series, we look back at some of our favorite and impactful episodes as we head toward our 100th episode. There have been a lot of things that have changed since recording Q&A 2, Part 1.
Things we look back on, how our kids' diagnosis has impacted work and maneuvering our kids' schedules. We talk about progressions and regressions that flow with our kids' schedules. We discuss how important the connection between therapists and our kids is. We talk about the mysterious sleep. Our kids have fundamental things in common, and sleep, or lack thereof, is one of them. We give our best tips for friendships and what has worked for us.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our listeners! Have you thought recently about gratitude? Gratitude can be as small as being grateful for having a couple of sips from a warm cup of coffee, being grateful for the people who show up for us every day and watching the fantastic growth we see in our kids. We look back at all the things that have brought us joy and give a rundown of what gratitude can look like for us. Join us in the celebration this week, and a big thank you to all the fantastic people in our lives.

We close out our series with reflections on all the things we learned from our lovely guests and what we feel when looking into the future for our kids.

We love to cut loose and keep it real in our no reservation episodes.

We had the opportunity of chatting with the inspiring and amazingly driven Jess Ronne. We chat about her son Lucas and all of the lovely projects she has going on right now. One thing we can all take away from this interview is that we need to get back to caring for each other. Jess recently purchased a farm, Hope Farm, to provide a place for not only her son but several other families in the area. She highlights some of the challenges of being a caregiver in her documentary and throws herself into advocacy with her non-profit, The Lucas Project.
Did we mention she is also an author? Author of Sunlight Burning at Midnight, Blended with Grit and Grace, and Lovin with Grit and Grace, Mom of 8, Founder of The Lucas Project, podcast host at Coffee with Caregivers, filmmaker of the documentary "Unseen" and all-around amazing human being.

This is a must listen to episode! We had the pleasure of speaking to Amy Schlueter about her adult autistic son Alex. We discuss the transition from young adult to adult, the guardianship process, systemic issues during the transition, and how we all look down the path of where our kids will land when they head out into the world. Amy is insightful and inspiring in the way she views not only the world but her approach to an autism diagnosis.
Amy is a mom of two kids. Her daughter Hannah is 27, and her son Alex is 25. Alex has autism. She is married(30 years), and the family lives on a lake in NW, Iowa. She has a master's degree in Nursing and had a great career with a lung transplant team, but stopped working after Alex was diagnosed. She became a stay-at-home mom to help Alex get the services he needed and also to help Hannah have as normal an upbringing as possible.
Alex has pursued his passion for art and has amazing art pieces on the family's website. Go check out the beauty that he has created.

We have had many of our listeners ask us to talk about our different medication journies with our kids.
In this episode, we discuss our individual choices for our kids regarding prescription medication and some of the issues that lead us down the path of seeking additional help. You will hear all sides of the choices and some guilt that can take place after entering this path. We each have a different perspective for our kids and the balancing of the decision regarding medication.
The main point we want everyone to know is that medication may or may not work for your kids. No matter what you choose, it is an individual choice, and we do not put any judgment on anyone for choosing medication or choosing not to walk down the medication path. It is a hard choice and, most of the time, a long path to find a medication that works. We are not medical professionals and do not claim to know the complicated layers it takes to understand how the medication affects the body.

We are talking about our lifelong experience with sending our kids to school. We discussed in our last episode sending our kids off for the first time.
Here we go a bit further to look at the hard choices of putting our kids out into the world. Some of the really hard situations that have come from our experience. We are so grateful for all the teachers and paras that have invested time and love to support our kids. If you want an honest view of how this goes for parents of children with disabilities, we open up about the behind-the-scenes feelings that come with the school experience.
We have felt judgment and support and have faced numerous decisions associated with the best way for our kids to learn in the way that works for them.
We also want to say that we see all the people sitting across from us who look us in the eye with kindness and circle our children to make the school experience a good one for them.

First, we all agree that Kim's accent adds so much to our podcast.
Join us as we talk about sending our kids off to school for the first time. The emotions of saying goodbye and putting our trust into the hands of others and the challenges that can bring. It is different when dealing with communication struggles, developmental delays, and our mama hearts when letting go of those tiny hands. There is a clear difference, and we all share the big feelings that come with the first walk into school.
If you are saying goodbye for the first time this year, we send you a big hug, hope, and know you are not alone in all the worries floating around.
Please remember to advocate for all children.

Mia is a writer and stay-at-home mom who lives with her husband, their two children, and their cat, Frankie Heck. She likes reading, running, and napping - not necessarily in that order. Mia is a fierce advocate for her daughter and all children with disabilities. Her work has been published on Scary Mommy, HuffPost, The Mighty, and more.
We love chatting with other moms who understand the journey we are on. She talks with us a bit about her daughter's recent experience in a traditional basketball camp, the relationship between her son and daughter, and her prior work experience. Such a great conversation.

We talk about the ways we bring therapy technics into our home with all the resources that are provided to us from outside sources. The items that we have in our home and how we incorporate those things into our daily life and our kid's daily life.
With all of our different ages of kids, the tools and resources change with age but the effort never stops. We modify our focus as they get older and work to also allow them to have time to just be kids.
Balance is always a work in progress for parents of autistic children, independence is all of our goals for our kids and a focus we spend a lot of time working for.
Not only do we practice life skills but helping our kids find what works best for their minds and bodies.

In this episode, we talk about the modifications we have made to our house to make sure it is a safe and comfortable environment for our autistic kids. We also discuss how sometimes rigidity can determine how things are changed in our house. We have cameras, locks, furniture changes, and other safety precautions because we care so much about each one of our kids. While things dramatically shifted in the interior design space for most people during the pandemic we had already set up our homes to be a sanctuary for our kids and their needs. We aren't talking pillows and light fixtures here. Join us as we talk about our personal space inside the home.

Have you ever called up your friends and said let's go somewhere for the weekend? The Table for Five ladies took a take a trip to Minnesota for a special weekend. We talk about what it takes to prepare to leave our children for some much-needed time alone. How sometimes there can be some residual feelings from our kids upon our return and that mom life doesn't stop just because we are away. We share our experiences meeting each other for the first time in person and how amazing it truly was. How we hoped that everything would just fall into place as it does when we chat online and it did. It was a fun-filled, magical weekend. To all the other moms we were able to spend time with over the weekend, we are so grateful for the support and love that was given to us during our time away. To our friend, Kate Swenson thank you for hosting and making our friendship really come full circle by being able to meet face to face at your first Mother's Day event. Our recommendation is that every Mom should fly or drive to another city to meet up with some other Moms who understand your parenting journey. Also, eat all the carbs because you deserve it.

We talk to recent children's book author Stacy Yildiz. Stacy Yildiz is a mom, wife, teacher, and autism advocate. As a long-time educator, Stacy is familiar with autism, however, her life changed when her daughter, Alicy, was diagnosed with nonverbal autism at the age of three.

Stacy wrote the book, "I Want to Belong" I Want To Belong: Yildiz, Stacy: 9798803409717: Books (amazon.com) to help others understand that just because someone has special needs, it doesn't mean they don't want to be included.
Stacy talks about their autism journey, her children's relationship, what her son thought of the book, and her publishing journey.

You do not want to miss this episode!
We talk with Chelsey Hautz, who practices as a pediatric occupational therapist in Vancouver, Canada. She has lived and worked in Canada, the UK, and Hong Kong. She believes wholeheartedly that we are built for connection and the meaning we cultivate within our own bodies, with others around us, and within the environments, we occupy from who we become and how we make sense of our lives. Her curiosities about the constantly changing field of neuroscience and the powerful connection between brain and body have led her to pursue a variety of post-graduate courses. She is committed to the learning and unlearning it takes to practice within a paradigm that values neurodiversity, inclusion, and autonomy centering on children and families throughout the therapeutic process.
We were blown away by this interview with Chelsey, not only does she take the time to understand her own personal growth as a professional but reflects on the growth of the children she works with by tailoring her practice to each individual child.
Chelsey was a huge part of Jenn and Kya's autism journey and made a lifelong impact on both of them. We learned so much and could talk to Chelsey for hours. Wait till you hear how she explains what occupational therapy is and why it is so important.

First and foremost we want to thank every person who has taken the time to come into our children's lives with an open heart and mind. There is no doubt that you will hear in this episode how much you have not only impacted our children's lives and ours as you sit across from us in a therapy program or school setting.
What we wanted to do was just open a conversation about things that could help families like ours throughout this process. Providers often are doing the best they can in the area of practice they work in and we wanted to share some perspective from a parent's view.
We would love for any of our listeners to share this episode with your therapist or teachers if you find anything helpful or you find yourself nodding your head along with what we are saying.
Communication is the key and starting these conversations about all that we are juggling is so important. Often we cannot find the words to say all the things that would help as we sit in a quiet waiting room or as we are trying to take in all the suggestions from multiple people throughout the week. We would love to be your voice if you just can't find the right words.

This week we talk about the divide in the autism community. The language that people prefer, autism awareness vs. acceptance, light it up blue, the puzzle piece and so much more.
Our hope is that if our community can come together we can make big changes as a collective whole. There is no doubt that as the years have gone on after our kid's autism diagnosis we have learned more and more about the preference and language. There is a learning curve when you enter into a community you know nothing about. As parents we need time to understand some of the complicated layers that come along with terminology, language, and why it matters.
This is truly a no reservations episode as we talk about some things that we hold close to our hearts as we close out this series.

Let's talk about how autism is portrayed in the media and what we have learned about autism from our kids. Did you have ideas of what autism was before your life was touched by an autism diagnosis? Did others have ideas about you if you are autistic? How do you feel about what information is out there about autistic people?
Autism presents in many ways in all of our kids, they have common characteristics but also individual needs and struggles. The labels they are given do not describe all that our kids are and we wanted to talk about what that looks like for us.
The major takeaway no two people with an autism diagnosis are the same and the spectrum is not the straight line that people imagine it to be.
Get ready to cry, the ending of the episode is raw and heartfelt. As always we open up our lives to discuss some of our deepest fears and feelings.

We had the pleasure of interviewing our friend Kate Swenson about her amazing book Forever Boy set to release on April 5th, 2022.
We discuss her family, autism, motherhood, and this journey of meeting each other in her supporter group Coops Troops. From her book "But I remind myself too, autism was always there. It wasn't given to him by a doctor who said the word out loud. It was inside him, woven through him like the sunlight shining between our faces. I just couldn't see it yet. But I could feel" page 88 of Forever Boy.
We will be forever grateful for her willingness to open her life to the internet and know she has helped shape a community, provided information, and encouragement, on her Facebook page, through her writing, and her kind words for us as fellow bloggers.
Find her book on Amazon Forever Boy: A Mother's Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy https://www.amazon.com/dp/0778311996/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CBSCCGA93DY9RWPW23R6

Table for Five Merch Bonfire - Design your own shirt on material you’ll love
It’s April so this month we will talking more in-depth about Autism. We start by talking about the different steps we all had to take to get our kids their autism diagnosis.
We each live in different areas and learned more information as we dove deeper into the world of professionals. As we lived in a time of wonder, we relied heavily on the professionals to guide our way.
What we ended up learning is that other parents became our greatest resource.
We also discuss some of the systems and support in our States and in Canada.
If you are a parent in the season of waiting for that evaluation appointment we are sending you all the love.

When and what does your autistic child eat? Have you ever wondered how sensory needs, routine, and location can complicate your autistic child's issues with food?
In this episode, we discuss our children's relationship with food and how it has changed over time for each one of our kids. We are not experts in food therapy, sensory needs, or interventions these are just 5 moms talking about what we have observed and experienced.
Each one of our children has had or currently has different struggles with the challenge that comes with eating. Jenn Dunn discusses the specific therapy she took her daughter Kya to in Canada and how it was life-changing for them.
Here is a link to her beautiful post discussed in the episode https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=227278895885851&set=pb.100058112256267.-2207520000..&type=3
We also join you in your angst if anyone has told you "they will eat when they are hungry."

Do you ever feel drained by the expectation of being the person who can “do it all?” In this episode, we get into loving who we are today and not holding ourselves down by all the things that the world thinks we should be.
It is hard to walk into the world holding all the plates, give yourself some grace, and know that it’s ok to say I need help today.
Love yourself for every inch of who you are.

"When the heart runs out of words, a hug will warm the silence." Angie Weiland-Crosby
This week we jump into the month of February with our love series. Get ready to feel the warm and fuzzies as we talk about our kids and how they show love. The thing about our babies is that spoken words are not a barrier to showing love in the deepest way.
Hear about the misconceptions about autistic children and how they show love through action. We melt into stories of memories of special times with our kids and how we all know they love us deeply.
Happy season of love. Snuggle those babies close for this week's episode.

We are so grateful for our lovely storytellers this week, stories told from the voices of neurodiverse adults. We were blown away by the beauty in each piece and regularly learn so much from hearing from autistic adults and neurodiverse adults as we learn about our own children.
Story 1: By Danielle Orleans, "Learning has helped me focus and brings new hope, learning about everything is what makes me feel alive and respected." Find Danielle on YouTube Reaching Danielle's Voice - YouTube and her Mom Linda shares their journey on Instagram at Linda Pollack Orleans (@lporleans70) • Instagram photos and videos
Story 2: By Tim Miller, "I thought my brain worked differently from everyone else's, I have always had trouble relating to others." Find Tim on his website https://www.timimillercomedy.com it's the End of the Show as we Know it! • A podcast on Anchor
Story 3: Told by Margi Cates, "I grew up telling myself everyone else is fine so I should be too, I grew up thinking it was my job to endure." Find Margi Margi Cates (@catesmargi007) • Instagram photos and videos
Story 4: Told by Sarah Edmunds, "If you have a child with a neurodivergent brain I think that it is so important that you pay attention to their learning and how they are learning and their education, and make sure that they know that someone is there that they have the ability to speak to guide their own education."

A special interview with Lindsay San, a BCBA who took her passion of not only helping children in her path as a therapist but saw a need to also help parents who were sitting across from her. She discusses the passion that brought her to launching the Pampered Parent a subscription box that provides much-needed self-care and inspirational items to those of us that could use something just for us.
We get into her background of finding a path to this work as well as her own sensory sensitivity which helps her understand just a little what some of our kiddos experience.
What we love about her box and her is that she has one item in each box that comes from a company that employs individuals with disabilities or is run by a person with disabilities.
Her long-term go is to employ members of the disability community to provide a much-needed place where they can feel supported and understood.
As moms to children who are making their way into this world, we couldn't be happier with a company that is looking to provide something to our community as a whole.

When you first hold your baby in your arms do you wonder where they will end up as they venture off into the world as adults? As parents to children with disabilities, our worries for the future run deep. We wonder if they will be able to live alone, will they have a job, find happiness, and worry about if they will be taken advantage of by those around them.
In this episode, we dive into our hopes for our kid's future. What are our deepest thoughts and wishes for our kids?
We talk about what we hope for the community at large and nudge nudge the need for more funding assistance for autistic adults. It is a heartfelt episode, a warning we all cried listening back to the recording. Grab the tissues as we open our hearts to the future.

She shares with us how she found her joy again when she started writing openly. We chat about her son Amos and her family, her love of following fascinating crime stories, her advocacy through her platform, the internet trolls, and a level of sweat that we have an intimate understanding of.
It is truly an honor to have her join us! https://www.facebook.com/talesofaneducateddebutante/

If you are looking a little hope that as time goes on it will get easier listen to this episode. We are all in different stages of life with different needs and have learned so much.
The take away, try as much as you can because our kids deserve to be out in the world too.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Natalie Vecchione of FASD Hope for FASD Awareness Month.
Natalie Vecchione is an FASD parent advocate, podcaster, author, wife and homeschool mom of two. Natalie and her husband, John, built their family through adoption. Their son, who is almost 19, lives with an FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). He has graduated from homeschool and he is an aspiring woodworker. Their daughter is 6 and they have a much different adoption journey with her, as they’re very close with her birth mom. Natalie turned her family’s unique challenges and journey with FASD from career reinventing into a calling when she and her husband began FASD Hope in October 2020.
She been an FASD podcaster for over a year. In October 2020, Natalie & John cofounded “FASD Hope” FASD Hope is a podcast, website and a place for awareness, information and inspiration for those people whose lives have been touched by an FASD. The FASD Hope podcast series is through the lens of parents advocates with over 18 years of lived experience. FASD Hope Podcast is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Bonfire - Design your own shirt on material you’ll love
Our interview this week is with Kristi Johnson, happily married to her soul mate, best friend, and partner in crime. We chat about her oldest non-verbal autistic son is 19, middle son who is 17, and youngest son who is 16, and has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
She started homeschooling her kiddos at the end of 2015, after having issues with public school system. She describes homeschooling as the most rewarding, most challenging, and the biggest obstacle she has dealt with.
One her greatest goals in her life is to bring autism awareness to others.
Kristi gives us an amazing look into her homeschooling skills, what we should all be thinking about now instead of later regarding adult services, and how to be a fierce advocate for our babies.
Tips from Kristi: Don’t be afraid to ask that mom in the milk isle at Target how she is doing it.
Come hear her tips and tricks!

What was the highlight of our week, and by highlight we mean those moments in the week that you look back on and are glad they are over. Navigating parenting is hard, hard, hard sometimes let's talk about it.
We talk about travel, preparation for an outing out of the house, recovering from the trips that do or don't go well, all the things you need to remember each day, and talks about different types of communication that our children use.
You might learn about scripting, non-verbal communication, public displays of emotion and so much more.

A life path that we all share is our children's autism diagnosis and what that path looked like. We have girl moms and boy moms, there are differences in each one of our children's qualities but we share many common threads.
Listen to what got us to our medical diagnosis and the feelings that come along with that. Things we didn't know at the time, some signs we missed, and the steep learning curve that came later.
If you are wondering about your children's development you can hear some shared stories of what we went through as we navigated diagnosis. We hope to share with you some knowledge that we wish would have known sooner.

Bonfire - Design your own shirt on material you’ll love
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.

Bonfire - Design your own shirt on material you’ll love
Jenn Dunn, Rachel Flanagan, Jaime Ramos, Kim McIsaac, and Tabitha Cabrera discuss what ideas they had before children came into the picture.
What type of parent did you think you would be? How did you feel when you saw a parent out and about with a loud device or a frustrated Mother in the snack aisle at Target.
Hear what we thought parenting was going to be like how our ideas changed dramatically after having children.
You'll get a little bit of everything, our honesty view of our naive perspective on parenting before we made our way through late-night feedings, snack patrol, all around blinding tiredness, and what ideas of ourselves came crashing down post-baby.
