I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with Tom Corwin of The Post and Courier during this year’s Surfers Healing event. While Hurricane Erin’s swells kept the kids from heading into the water, the day was still filled with joy, connection, and the incredible spirit of community.

A heartfelt thank you to the Surfers Healing Foundation for creating such a beautiful space for families — your work continues to inspire hope and healing. 💙

Autism isn’t a disconnection—it’s often a deeper connection the world doesn’t yet understand🤍

Thank you to Tami Simon and Insights at the Edge for having me on the podcast 🤍

In this conversation, we explore the often-overlooked gifts of autism—what it reveals about sensitivity, interconnection, and even human evolution. Autism is so often misread as disconnection. But as both a psychiatrist and a mother to an autistic daughter, I’ve come to see it differently.

Honored to return to Mental Health News Radio with Kristin Walker for a deeply personal and in-depth conversation that aired today. We explored my journey with my autistic daughter; wisdom I have learned from her, my autistic friends and my autistic patients; how we are all evolving into more openness—and how the sacred sensitivity of autistic individuals can guide us toward the Love that we all are.

Thank you, Kristin, for holding such a genuine and compassionate space.

Deeply moved by this conversation between my dear friend Sarah Taylor and the brilliant Tami Simon of . Sarah speaks with such clarity and tenderness about her late-diagnosed neurodivergence—and how it became a profound doorway into awakening.

We often think longing means something’s missing. But it can be a guide—a quiet pull back to what we truly are.

All longings lead us to The Longing. Let it take you home.
