Psychological safety is more than a buzzword—it’s the missing link in many well-intended neuroinclusion efforts. In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins explains why many workplace strategies fail to succeed, despite the presence of accommodations and flexible policies. Through a practical lens, she examines how environments built on compliance rather than care often overlook the root of what makes inclusion sustainable. If you’ve ever wondered why neurodivergent talent leaves—or never fully thrives—this episode offers a deeper look at what needs to change.

When someone you love receives an autism or ADHD diagnosis, you expect clarity. But what often follows is a tidal wave of opinions, advice, and pressure — from doctors, family members, social media, and even strangers. In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins explores the emotional aftermath of a diagnosis, the weight of conflicting information, and the quiet grief that we rarely discuss. With honesty and insight, she reminds listeners that it's okay to pause, question, and trust your own path — even when the world insists it knows better.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or newly diagnosed adult, this episode offers support, validation, and a steady voice amid the noise.

As parents, educators, or managers, we often feel that advocacy means speaking up, pushing forward, and doing the work for someone else. But the real end goal of advocacy isn’t stepping in — it’s stepping back.

In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins explores one of the toughest transitions we face: learning when to shift from speaking for someone to preparing them to speak for themselves. From high school IEP meetings to college disability services, to the workplace where parent involvement isn’t tolerated, she unpacks what stepping back really looks like — and why it’s essential for building trust, independence, and self-advocacy.

You’ll walk away with practical ways to scaffold these conversations, model collaborative communication, and ultimately empower your teen, student, or employee to take ownership of their needs. Because real advocacy isn’t about fighting harder — it’s about setting up others for success.
