In this deeply personal solo episode, Ashley opens up about the raw, often invisible weight of managing constant life interruptions as a caregiver to an autistic child. She shares candid reflections on the isolation that creeps in—even when surrounded by others—and the emotional toll of being misunderstood by a world that isn’t built for neurodivergent families. From missed plans to emotional burnout, Ashley explores what it really means to hold everything together when no one sees the cracks. This episode is a lifeline for anyone who’s ever felt alone in the chaos—and a gentle call for greater compassion and awareness from the neurotypical world.

In this episode of Perfectly Autistic, we take a thoughtful and direct look at recent comments made by RFK Jr. linking autism to vaccines and framing it as a public health tragedy. We unpack the origins of these claims, explore their lasting impact on the autistic community, and explain why this narrative is both harmful and scientifically unfounded. We reclaim the conversation around autism, challenge misinformation, and reaffirm that autism is not a problem to be solved—but a way of being to be respected.
