About this episode

<p>On this episode, we&#39;re joined by Sean for our first ever live Christmas special recorded in front of our community.</p><p>We talk about what Christmas actually looks like with autistic kids — the pressure to make it magical, the year we realised they didn&#39;t care about presents, and why one parent picks up McDonald&#39;s on Christmas Eve to reheat the next day.</p><p>Sean shares the moment his girls stood up and delivered speaking parts in their school play after years of sitting in the corner with a tablet. We get into schools that actually meet kids where they are, the ones that don&#39;t, and a story about a boy who got cut from his nativity because he&#39;s autistic.</p><p>Plus — the spitting mystery that had everyone stumped until someone checked her back teeth.</p>
