    On The Journey - Learning To Listen w/ Tommy, Brian & Jeremy
    2026/09/04
    We all know how to hear—but do we actually know how to listen? In this episode of On The Journey, we dig into one of the most important—and often most difficult—relational skills for autistic men: learning how to listen without immediately defending, explaining, fixing, correcting, or preparing our response. We talk honestly about why listening can be challenging, what gets in the way, and how becoming a better listener requires more than simply staying quiet while someone else talks.

    Together, we explore what it looks like to slow down, stay curious, and listen for the experience underneath the words. Because listening isn't just about gathering information—it's about helping the other person feel heard, understood, and valued. Whether it's with your wife, your kids, or the people closest to you, learning to listen can change the way you connect. And like everything we talk about on On The Journey, this isn't about getting it perfect. It's about recognizing where we struggle, practicing something different, and continuing to grow into healthier, more emotionally mature men.

    Lights, Camera, Action! w/ Johnathan Rochford
    2026/08/23
    What happens when you finally find a place where you fit? In this episode, Johnathan and I talk about the opening of Shrek Jr., the musical he’s performing in, and the hope that can come from discovering a community where you feel like you belong. We talk about how much confidence can grow when someone finds a space where their interests, personality, strengths, and even their differences are welcomed—and why finding that kind of place can change the way you see yourself and your future.

    We also talk about how parents can help their kids keep searching until they find those spaces, especially when belonging hasn’t always come easily. Sometimes it’s theater. Sometimes it’s sports, art, gaming, church, music, volunteering, or something completely unexpected. The point isn’t that everyone has to fit into the same place—it’s that everyone deserves the chance to find their place. And when families and communities work together to encourage people instead of trying to make them fit a mold, it reminds all of us that there is more hope out there than we sometimes realize. Keep looking. Your place—and your people—may be closer than you think.

  • Becoming The Man I Was Meant To Be w/ Russell Grigsby

    Becoming The Man I Was Meant To Be w/ Russell Grigsby
    2026/08/15
    In this episode of NeuroFM, I sit down with Russell Grigsby for an honest conversation about what it means to become the man God has called you to be when autism is part of your story. Russell shares how his diagnosis has helped him better understand himself—not as an excuse for staying stuck, but as an invitation to grow in self-awareness, responsibility, faith, and purpose. We talk about learning to work with the way God wired you while still pursuing maturity in the places where growth is needed.

    At the heart of Russell’s journey is a growing desire to know and love both himself and his wife better. We talk about how understanding his autism has given him new language for his own needs, emotions, strengths, and struggles—and how that self-understanding can create more room for empathy, connection, and intentional love in marriage. This is a conversation about learning to accept the way God made you without using it as a reason to stop growing, and discovering how knowing yourself more deeply can help you show up with greater love for the person beside you.

  • Special Olympics & Angels in the Outfield w/ Johnathan Rochford

    Special Olympics & Angels in the Outfield w/ Johnathan Rochford
    2026/08/07
    Sometimes inclusion looks less like a program and more like getting to step onto the field and be one of the players. In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy is joined by his son Johnathan to talk about an unforgettable experience: attending a Special Olympics baseball clinic at PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. From being inside a Major League ballpark to learning, playing, and connecting with others, Johnathan shares what it was like to experience baseball in a place where athletes of all abilities were welcomed and celebrated.

    But this episode is about more than baseball. Jeremy and Johnathan talk about why opportunities like this matter so much for neurodivergent kids and their families—and what can happen when we stop focusing on limitations and start creating places where people can participate, contribute, and belong. It’s a conversation about confidence, inclusion, trying something new, and the power of being given a chance to step onto the field. Because sometimes a great day at the ballpark becomes a reminder of something much bigger: everyone deserves a place to play.

  • On The Journey - Pilot Episode w/ Tommy & Jeremy

    On The Journey - Pilot Episode w/ Tommy & Jeremy
    2026/07/25
    Introducing: "On The Journey"

    What does it look like to discover you're autistic later in life... and then decide you're not going to stay stuck and live life beyond the diagnosis? On The Journey is a new recurring segment on NeuroFM where autistic men pull back the curtain on their lives with honesty, humility, and hope. These aren't polished success stories or experts pretending to have all the answers. They're real conversations about the challenges they've faced, the mistakes they've made, the victories they've celebrated, and the practical steps they're taking to grow into healthier, more emotionally mature men.

    Whether you're newly exploring the possibility of autism, recently diagnosed, or years into understanding yourself, On The Journey is a reminder that growth is possible. Together, we'll explore what it means to become more regulated, more self-aware, and more connected—not only for ourselves, but for our wives, our children, our families, and the people we love most. Because a diagnosis isn't the finish line. It's the beginning of a journey toward becoming the best version of yourself.

  • My Autistic Diary: Regulation & Relationships

    My Autistic Diary: Regulation & Relationships
    2026/07/16
    Have you ever ruined a perfectly good day because it didn't go according to plan?

    That's exactly what almost happened to Jeremy during his son's Special Olympics soccer camp. He arrived excited to support his son, but before long the schedule felt disorganized, communication was unclear, and the uncertainty began pressing on every part of him that craves structure and predictability. His familiar conflict cycle started to emerge: rising frustration, tightening expectations, and the quiet belief that someone else needed to fix the situation before he could enjoy it. In that moment, Jeremy had a choice. He could spend the day fighting reality, or he could regulate himself first.

    In this episode, Jeremy shares how changing his expectations transformed the entire experience. Rather than trying to control the environment, he learned to manage his own nervous system, embrace flexibility, and become fully present with his son. The result wasn't a perfect day—it was a connected one. If you've ever found yourself frustrated because life, marriage, parenting, or even a family outing didn't unfold the way you expected, this conversation will help you recognize your own conflict cycle and discover how regulation can create connection, even when life refuses to follow the script.

  • Why Hard Things Are Worth Doing w/ Johnathan Rochford

    Why Hard Things Are Worth Doing w/ Johnathan Rochford
    2026/07/12
    For many families, opportunities like Special Olympics are about far more than sports—they're about belonging. In this episode, Jeremy sits down with his son, Johnathan, to relive an unforgettable week at Special Olympics Soccer Camp. Together, they talk about everything from making new friends and learning new skills to the excitement of competing, growing in confidence, and experiencing the unique community that makes Special Olympics so special. Through John's perspective, listeners get an honest look at what it's feels like to step outside your comfort zone and discover you're capable of more than you imagined.

    They also don't shy away from the hard parts. Camp was exhausting—physically, mentally, and emotionally—but as John shares, some of the greatest rewards come from doing things that stretch us. Whether you're raising a neurodivergent child, participating in adaptive sports, or simply looking for encouragement to embrace new challenges, this conversation is a reminder that growth rarely comes without effort, and that the experiences that leave us most tired are often the ones that leave us most changed. Join Jeremy and Johnathan for a heartfelt conversation filled with laughter, lessons, and a celebration of what becomes possible when we're willing to show up and give our best.
