Autism parenting and consciousness intersect in this incredible Inchstones episode! Cognitive neuroscientist and consciousness researcher Dr. Julia Mossbridge joins us to explore her new book "have a nice disclosure" which invites you on a journey that unites science, spirit, and wonder into one life-changing exploration of who you truly are. Autism Mom Sarah and Dr. Mossbridge share the deeper currents of love, connection, and ethical education especially for non-speaking people. We talk about unconditional love as a practical healing force, how truth-telling shaped her writing process, and why anomalous cognition deserves careful attention rather than dismissal. Julia highlights the ethical responsibilities researchers and educators hold when working with non-speakers, and she shares concrete steps toward curricula that support meaningful communication. We also discuss advocacy often led by mothers, gendered patterns in emotional expression, and the reminder that trauma does not set a ceiling on growth. Throughout, Julia returns to a simple, radical invitation: participate in a love revolution grounded in empathy, relationship, and respect.
