In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

This week's episode is all about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome! If you have read Fourth Wing, this is what Violet has, and it also happens to be what I and my children have!
We are joined today by Dr. Kaydee Zimmern, a physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor health and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I bet you didn't know those two things were so closely related!
This is a great time to have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome as there are now so many resources available that we didn't have before. And we are continuing to learn more every day!
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is not a hopeless diagnosis. It can be difficult, but we have options to empower us to live our best life whatever that may look like. But it all starts with advocacy because YOU are worth fighting for!

Autism, Vaccines, and Diets are words that have caused much controversy over the years. Everyone has an opinion, and people often feel threatened when people have different opinions from them. I hope that this episode will be a breath of fresh air that allows us to consider some possibilities that might not always be considered. But mostly, I hope this episode encourages you to see each child as an individual and to let that guide you! Check out the Show Notes for links to more resources mentioned in the episode!

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: when your body is a Mercedes living in a Ford pick-up world. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a common comorbidity for both Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Dysautonomia. It is often described as "being allergic to the universe." But perhaps it is best described as a Mercedes living in a Ford pick-up world. People with MCAS have bodies that need a lot of extra TLC! Avoidance of triggers is one of the most important things in supporting someone with MCAS, but it goes beyond that, it means performing regular maintenance checks on your body assuring that you maintain homeostasis Check out the Show Notes for links to more resources about Mast Cell Activation Syndrome!

You've got the power! In this week's episode, we talk with Geralyn Spiesz about Epigenetics, Neuroplasticity, Down Syndrome, Autism, and more! Geralyn Spiesz is an Occupational Therapist, author of Redefining the Reality of Down Syndrome: The Power of an Integrative Mindset , and founder of The Down Syndrome Action Plan Community. What I hope you take away from this conversation is that thanks to epigenetics and neuroplasticity, you've got the power! No matter what genes you might have been born with, your genes are NOT your destiny! We ALL have the power to influence the expression of genes through the environment we create for our bodies to live in! Whether it is dietary change, palate expanders, stress reduction, or physical exercise, it's all about supporting your child body, mind, and soul so they can grow into their best selves!

It is a great time when we are already more focused on shining light into dark places! And it is a great way to help children see that they are capable of creating change in the world!

In No Patient Left Behind, our second episode of Season 4: Neurodivergent Healthcare, I am joined by Angela Gehrt. Angela is an Occupational Therapist working on her capstone project for her doctoral work, and the focus of her research is on improving Neurodivergent Healthcare! She had some very interesting statistics to share with us such as: - Autistic life expectancy is reduced by 16-30 years, and Autistics are more likely to die in every disease category than their non-Autistic counterparts. - Autistic people are twice as likely to use emergency departments and die after attending emergency care. - Autistic people are three times more likely to require inpatient admissions. - 80% of Autistics reported difficulty visiting a GP when needed unrelated to costs, compared with 37% of non-Autistics. - 56% of Autistics delayed seeking care because they don't feel understood. Only 13% of non-Autistics reported the same challenges. - Only 13% of physicians felt they had adequate (not good but adequate) tools and resources to serve Autistic patients. Check out the Show Notes for links to some of the research Angela cited in this episode!

S4E63: Earning the Right to Talk 50:07

منذ 19 weeks50:07

50:07

Welcome back to Season 4 of Special Needs Kids Are People Too! This entire season is going to be focused on Healthcare and Neurodivergent Healthcare specifically! There are different ways that we "earn the right to talk" about a particular subject. Sometimes we earn that right by getting a degree in that area of study. Othertimes we read a great deal and self-educate ourselves on a particular topic. However, we can also "earn the right to talk" about a particular subject through "the school of hard knocks," in other words, through life experience. Throughout this season, I will be interviewing people with degrees in relevant areas of study, but I will also be sharing from my own life experience with the very real problem of Substandard Neurodivergent Healthcare. Join me today as I start our new season off by sharing my own story and experiences with Neurodivergent Healthcare! Join us today!

And it is not an easy topic to navigate because it is one that most parents haven't experienced, at least not in the same way that their kids are experiencing technology now!

Michelle Markman of ND Coach, Inc is my guest this week, and she works to empower high-masking, high-achieving women, particularly those who have been late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed autistic (or otherwise neurodivergent). So what are the challenges of being a neurodivergent woman? Well, in some ways they aren't that different from the challenges of being a woman... perhaps, as we say in the podcast, "just more so!"

Our next Q&A is all about Misophonia, a condition where a person experiences a decreased tolerance for certain sounds. To help us understand more about Misophonia, I have asked Doctor of Audiology Rae Stout to join me! Dr. Stout is an Autistic Audiologist that has taken a particular interest in using low gain hearing aids to help children not only cope with Misophonia but to hopefully increase their tolerance for certain sounds. Dr. Stout speaks to the fact that exposure therapy is rarely successful, but tools like low gain hearing aids that give a child control over their auditory environment can be helpful in decreasing the severity of the child's experience with Misophonia! I always say that if you want to find a truly exceptional professional in any field that you should look for an Autistic person with a special interest in that field, and Dr. Rea Stout does not disappoint!! Join me today as I talk with Dr. Rae Stout about the fascinating world of sound!!
