Real talk with parents, professionals and autism advocates. Hosted by Cindy Gelormini—a mom whose autistic son Robbie passed away in 2017 from a seizure—this podcast dives deep into the real, raw, and often misunderstood world of autism. Unlike polished shows run by clinicians or therapy companies, Cindy brings the perspective of a parent who's lived it. With curiosity and courage, she explores everything from RPM (Rapid Prompting Method) and Spelling to Communicate, to apraxia, telepathy, and beyond. She's not looking to create entertainment, she's looking for answers and wants to bring change. No topic is off-limits. From controversial therapies and the vaxxine debate, to criticisms of ABA and Autism Speaks, Cindy asks the questions others won’t—and learns alongside her listeners. As the episodes unfold, you'll witness her discovery of new ideas that challenge old narratives and offer hope to families seeking real change. This is not just a podcast—it’s a mission to spark a revolution in how we understand and support autistic individuals.
