Three Key Takeaways from this Episode: 1. Community Support and Engagement One of the major highlights from our recent events, including an educational event and a fundraiser, was the overwhelming support and engagement from our community. It was heartwarming to see parents, caregivers, and individuals with autism come together to share their stories, seek support, and connect with resources. The power of community in navigating challenges and celebrating successes cannot be understated. 2. Importance of Self-Care and Recharging As we shared our busy schedule and events, we also highlighted the importance of self-care and taking time to recharge. Whether it's a quick night out or a weekend getaway, finding moments to rejuvenate and reconnect with loved ones is crucial. Our recent birthday celebration and getaway served as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing self-care amidst our busy lives. 3. Challenges and Triumphs in Caregiving We also touched upon the ongoing challenges and triumphs in caregiving for individuals with autism, specifically focusing on grooming routines and personal care. From navigating sensory issues to establishing new routines, caregiving for individuals with autism requires patience, understanding, and adaptability. Our experiences with Dylan's grooming routines shed light on the continuous learning and growth in providing the best care possible. Join the Conversation! I invite you to listen to the full episode for more insights, stories, and reflections on our journey with autism and advocacy. Your support and engagement mean the world to us, and we look forward to continuing to share our story with you all. Thank you for being a part of our community and for your unwavering support. Let's keep the conversation going and continue to learn, grow, and inspire together.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
