The Village NeuroSpicy Notes
Don’t let the title give you the wrong idea – autism is no joke. However, if you are a parent of an autistic child you probably find some humor in every day challenges. I know I do.
The Village Voice
This is an open forum where parents, autistic individuals, and allies come together to share their stories, insights, and advice. Here, every voice matters — whether you’re navigating diagnosis, celebrating milestones, or simply looking for connection and understanding. Our goal is to build a supportive space where experiences are honored, knowledge is shared, and the diverse perspectives of our community help us all grow stronger together.
