Welcome to Get UnPuzzled!
Through this Podcast, we are here to guide you through the ups, downs, and everything in between on this journey of parenting and caregiving for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities or neurodiverse kids.
Whether you're looking for expert advice, heartfelt stories, or a supportive community, this podcast is your go-to resource. We'll explore practical tools, share inspiring conversations, and tackle the questions and challenges that come with navigating life as a parent, caregiver, or advocate.
We’ve talked to the leading experts on stress and anxiety, advocates in the autism community, psychologists, and professionals and having conversations you won’t want to miss.
Let’s get started and get unpuzzled together!
Every family has a story. Every journey deserves to be heard.
Behind every diagnosis is a family navigating questions, uncertainty, grief, growth, advocacy, and hope. While every journey is unique, one thing remains the same—we all long to know we're not walking it alone.
That's why we created UnPuzzled Stories.
As a special series on the Get UnPuzzled Podcast, UnPuzzled Stories shares the authentic experiences of parents, caregivers, self-advocates, and families raising children with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. These conversations go beyond the diagnosis to explore the moments that shaped each family's journey—the challenges they never expected, the victories worth celebrating, and the lessons they learned along the way.
Our goal isn't to tell one story. It's to create a collection of stories that reflect the many different paths families travel. Whether you're just beginning your journey or have been advocating for years, we hope these conversations remind you that your experiences matter, your voice is important, and you are never alone.
Because when one family shares their story, another family finds hope.
Revisiting Diagnosis Day.
In this heartfelt episode of Get Unpuzzled, we’re speaking directly to every parent whose child has just received an autism diagnosis. It’s a moment filled with emotions—uncertainty, fear, hope—and you’re not alone.
Join us as we sit down with Theresa Evanoff, the psychologist who gave our son a diagnosis that would forever change our lives. Together, we’ll share all the raw emotions, from anxiety to calmness, and heartbreak to healing. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply wondering what to do next, this episode will provide clarity, reassurance, and a sense of community. I hope you enjoy.
