This is a Quick Take Bonus Episode answering a listener’s question: “How do I talk to my kids about autism?”

My friend Rose joins me today to help parents navigate this challenging situation. Rose just happens to be autistic and has a tremendous amount of insight, which she freely shares.
This episode will help you form a strategy for talking to your child about their own autism or even helping them better understand a sibling, friend, or family member who’s autistic.
Guest Bio:
Rose is a Neurodiversity and Disability Specialist. You might know her as @a.tint.of.rose on Instagram where she adventures life in its realist form with her house rabbit Missy, and Penguin, her emotional support/travel buddy cuddly toy.
Rose describes herself as an open-minded gal who loves food, fitness, tourism, and animals (alpacas make her cry with happiness). The world of social media & community are special interests rivaled only by food – both eating and cooking it. She’s been known to watch movies only for their food scenes.
