“How to Talk About Autism with Your Kids – A Conversation with Dr. Yael Rothman and Dr. Katia Fredriksen"

In Episode #155 of Art of Raising Humans, Sara and Kyle sit down with pediatric neuropsychologists, Dr. Yale Rothman and Dr. Katie Fredriksen, to explore a crucial and timely topic — how to talk with kids about autism.

 

In this episode, we discuss a thoughtful, kid-friendly book co-authored by Dr. Rothman and Dr. Fredriksen that helps children with autism understand how their brains work — and supports neurotypical children in understanding and connecting with autistic peers.

 

This conversation sheds light on:

• What may be contributing to the rise in autism diagnoses
• Why it’s essential for all kids to understand neurodiversity
• How parents can foster empathy, connection, and inclusion

Whether you're parenting a child with autism or simply want to raise compassionate, informed kids, this episode offers meaningful insight and practical tools. The book we discuss is one every family will benefit from having on their shelf.

 

👉 Listen now and join the conversation on raising humans who embrace and support every kind of brain.
