SPARC Out

De: Angel Wilson
  • Resumen

  • SPARC Out is a safe haven in the podcast world to talk about all things autism. By sharing news, stories, and viewpoints from autistic individuals, family members, and professionals alike, we explore the autism experience and look to increase autism awareness and acceptance across backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. We are especially focused on empowering minority communities to better understand and advocate for and with their autistic loved ones. We don't do time out...we do SPARC Out!

  • The United States of Autism: An Epidemic of Fear
    Apr 21 2025
    In light of recent events that have shaken the autism and autistic communities, along with an onslaught of false information regarding autism, I decided to record this episode. I had no outline, no real plan, only real emotions, thoughts, and data. There is no music, and the only editing I did was to cut out pauses and redundant words (stutters, repeats, etc.). I wanted this episode to be raw and honest.
    The past two weeks have been a brutal wake up call for anyone thinking that maybe, just maybe, progress was being made in autism awareness and acceptance. I myself am included in this. We do not have time to rant and rage, however. We must work to counter the one emotion that is at the heart of not just this enhanced campaign against neurodivergence and autism, but in every campaign against everyone seen as the "other."

    Fear.

  • Talking Medicaid, Part 2: Meichico Aldridge Huggins
    Apr 2 2025
    As we kick off World Autism Acceptance Month, we have Part 2 of my mini series covering the Medicaid updates that have affected countless families in Florida this year. In this episode, I speak with Meichico, a mom of autistic twins who has become something of an expert at navigating disability-related systems in Florida. We will get a family view of the impact of the Medicaid changes, along with advice for families and caregivers on how to weather changes like these and the state and local systems related to disability services.

  • Talking Medicaid, Part 1: Christian Sanon, Look Up Therapy
    Feb 21 2025
    In light of the recent restructuring of Florida Medicaid that has left hundreds of families and providers scrambling to acquire or provide autism-related services, I sat down and chatted with BCBA and Owner of Look Up Therapy, Christian Sanon. We discuss the widespread impact of the restructuring on providers in particular, including how these changes could shutter some providers for good. We also talk about what providers can do to protect themselves from sudden upheavals in the autism field going forward.
    This is the first of a two part series. Next month's episode will take a closer look at the impact this restructuring has had on Medicaid families, along with advice on how families can prepare for similar changes in the future.
