Author, K. Snyder joins me this week to start the conversation that needs to happen now more than ever.

With his book: "Reparations 101", K. lays down the foundation of what reparations really looks like and how to get the process started in order to heal the Nation. From the key players of slavery in the United States of America to the 4 Demands required for reparations, we dive deep into the conversation that makes everyone uncomfortable.

For more information on the change K. is working for and to support the National Petition, visit www.reparations-101.com . You can also get a copy of the book on Amazon and follow Reparations 101 on IG.

As an autism parent, your time and energy are focused on the chaos you and your child are faced with. When you are simply trying to get through the next minute, the last thing to cross your mind is thinking about planning for a Special Needs Trust, Guardianship, and Power of Attorney.

You can access Michael's blog, the book for the neurotypical siblings, a template of a letter of intent that gives all the information needed on your child if anyone needs to look after your child in case of emergencies, and even budget sheets at www.theautismvoyage.com

There is no such thing as bad emotions. There is only a bad way to handle these emotions.

This week, Danielle walks us through 8 BIG emotions that will often overwhelm us when our child is experiencing them. In this episode, she reveals the positive sides of these "BAD" emotions, the shadow side of them when they are not handled properly, the physical signs that your child will have that reveals the emotion, and the hidden need behind these emotions.

Anger, fear, resentment, regret, jealousy, sadness, shame, and guilt are on the menu today! You can save this episode to go back to each emotion, as needed. You can also check out the Teacher's Corner playlist on the Being Connected e-Learning Inc. YouTube channel for shorter videos on the individual emotions. The videos will be uploaded within one week of the time this episode aired.

You can visit www.beingconnected.ca for more physical signs and hidden needs of the most common emotions in children (including the good ones!). You will find them in the "Learning" tab.
