  • Bonus EP – Embracing Autism IRL – What They’re Not Telling You About Facilitated Communication with Dr. Katharine Beals
    Is your child really speaking through someone else—or are you being misled? Today, we tackle the hot-button issue of facilitated communication (FC) and the explosion of pseudoscience in the autism world, especially after the viral success of The Telepathy Tapes podcast. Joining us is Dr. Katharine Beals—autism expert, linguist, and mother to an autistic child—who helps us cut through the noise. Learn what FC really is, why it's so controversial, and how to protect your family from misinformation disguised as progress. This is a must-listen for any parent trying to separate evidence-based practice from viral hype. Website: www.facilitatedcommunication.org Social Media: @katharinebeals.bsky.social

About Embracing Autism

Your child is autistic, now what? Parenting a child is often rewarding, but for parents of autistic children, it can be a struggle when communication, finances, or behavior is a barrier. Join hosts Lia & Matt McCabe, an Autistic & ADHD couple raising two autistic daughters and the founders of the charity project AutismWish, in weekly discussions to provide parents with guidance, tips, resources, and a newfound perspective on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Each week we will share our experience raising special needs children and tackle difficult or taboo subjects in the Autism world with encouragement and guidance on how to broaden your perspective while learning to understand and empathize with your autistic child, from weathering the storm to Embracing Autism. Learn more at www.autismwish.org or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube @AutismWish.

We try our absolute best to get everything right but we are only human, so please make sure to consult with an expert.
