Discover what’s possible when a fresh start brings new perspectives. We’ve reached the end of 2025! To celebrate, we’ll be reviewing some of our favorite moments from this year. Part 1 will highlight episodes 216 through 228, and Part 2, episodes 230 through 240.  We want to thank you for your support and patience during the first half of the year, when we released throwbacks due to my maternity leave. This pause allowed me to both spend quality time with my family and plan ahead for the podcast. I was eager to jump back in last summer with our new Autism Tips and Tools segment, hoping that these bite-size episodes would bring you helpful strategies that you could implement right away. In September, we re-launched Autism Knows No Borders with our regular weekly schedule of brand new episodes – and with them, new perspectives on more important topics related to autism. If you’ve been with us for a while, this 2025 recap will bring you back to each of our guests’ heartfelt stories. And if you’re joining us for the first time, welcome! This should give you a good idea of what Autism Knows No Borders is all about. ----more---- We appreciate your time.
