  • Autism and Water Safety: What Every Parent Needs to Know (S8E25)

    Autism and Water Safety: What Every Parent Needs to Know (S8E25)
    2025/08/07
    This week, we’re talking about something every autism parent needs to think about—but many don’t until it’s too late: water safety and wandering. If you’ve ever felt the panic of not knowing where your child went or struggled to keep them safe near water, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr. Molly O’Shea, a pediatrician with the American Academy of Pediatrics, autism mom, and the official pediatrician for Goldfish Swim School. We explore the very real risks around drowning in the autism community and what parents can do to keep their neurodivergent kids safe—starting as early as infancy. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why autistic children are at significantly higher risk of drowning The connection between wandering and sensory-driven curiosity How kids on the spectrum process water differently Why swim lessons need to start earlier than most parents realize How swim programs like Goldfish adapt to neurodivergent learners Why swimming builds more than safety—it builds confidence and cognitive development What parents can expect from a sensory-friendly swim program If you found this episode helpful, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    The Day This Autism Dad Almost Gave Up (S8E24)
    2025/07/30
    In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Autism Dad Podcast, I open up about one of the darkest moments of my life—a time when the weight of burnout, single parenting, and undiagnosed ADHD nearly pushed me past the brink. But more importantly, I talk about the moment I chose five more minutes—and how that choice changed everything. Joining me is Dr. Kristen Guillory, a leading voice in men’s mental health and founder of Candid Conversations for Men. Together, we break down what often goes unspoken, especially for dads raising neurodivergent kids. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a lifeline. If you're a dad feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world or a parent trying to support your partner, this episode is for you. What We Talk About: - Why men’s mental health is still a taboo topic—and how we can change that - What it’s really like to parent autistic children as a solo dad - The emotional toll of trying to be “strong” all the time - How societal expectations silence men’s pain - The moment I considered giving up—and what pulled me back - How to break the silence and ask for help without shame - The importance of presence over perfection in fatherhood - The five-minute rule that can help you survive even the hardest days This Week’s Sponsors: NeuroProtek®Developed by a Yale-trained neuroinflammation expert, NeuroProtek is a brain-supporting flavonoid supplement designed to help with neurological inflammation often seen in autism.
