April 20, 2026 twodisableddudes No comments exist

Episode 296 explores connection, resilience, and the power of meeting people where they are—starting with a story about a young man with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) who courageously continues cycling even after a crash.

The episode’s main conversation features Dr. Eric Mitchell and his son Dylan, who share their work with Neurodiversity Consultants and their strengths-based, relationship-driven approach to supporting neurodivergent individuals. Dylan offers a powerful personal perspective on growing up on the spectrum, highlighting both challenges (like social connection and emotional regulation) and the tools that helped him thrive. Dylan talks about a challenge many of his clients face: the growing lack of “tertiary spaces” for social connection and how that disproportionately impacts neurodivergent people. The episode closes with reflections on purpose, gratitude, and the importance of creating meaningful opportunities for community.
