Summary
“Just because you have a diagnosis doesn't mean you fit in the same box as someone else.”
Friend, today we are diving into autism with educational therapist, school psychologist, and my friend, Alicia Trice.
Alicia has worked with people with autism (and their families) for over 10 years and in this chat she debunks many of the myths that are circulating about autism. She explains the importance of individualized care and the need for better resources within our education system for non-neurotypical kids.
From someone who is on the ground working with these families every day, Alicia encourages us to look for the strengths in each other and to lead with love.
Friend, this is a good one. Thanks to Alicia for being here and thanks for hitting play on another Tell Me More chat!

| 0:35.6 | This is the only podcast where I just want to |
| 0:38.3 | empower you to think better for yourself. And that means bringing conversations around topics that |
| 0:44.1 | may be controversial or maybe current event hot or maybe a little spicy, you know, and getting |
