Parents, this episode is straight from the heart ❤️—and full of the messy, funny, and downright real moments that come with raising a neurodivergent child.


From baby sleep struggles and food sensitivities to stimming in public and why “because I said so” never works, Pamela and Loki share a refreshingly honest look at life in a neurodivergent household.


If you’ve ever wondered whether your own family’s “normal” is… well, not-so-normal—you’re in good company here. You’ll laugh, nod along, and maybe even see your own child in some of these stories.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why tiny quirks in infancy can be early clues

✅ The difference between allergies, intolerances, and how they affect behavior

✅ What stimming looks like (and why it’s not a bad thing)

✅ How open communication changes everything in a neurodivergent home

✅ Why a diagnosis is never a life sentence


💬 What’s one quirk or truth about life with your neurodivergent child that only you would understand? Share it in the comments so we can all nod along together!

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
