The Heart of Autism Podcast is a platform for meaningful, informative, and compassionate conversations about autism, families, education, inclusion, advocacy, and the experiences that shape the autism community.
Hosted by Dr. Canute White, Founder and President of Heart of Autism Inc., the podcast brings together professionals, parents and caregivers, autistic individuals and self-advocates, educators, researchers, organizational leaders, and others with valuable experiences and perspectives to share.
Our goal is not simply to talk about autism, but to create conversations that can educate, challenge assumptions, encourage families, and help communities become more understanding and inclusive.
We are especially interested in guests who can speak about:
• Lived experiences of autistic individuals
• Parenting and caregiving
• Nonspeaking and minimally speaking autism
• Communication and language development
• Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
• Special education and classroom inclusion
• Early intervention and childhood development
• Mental health and family well-being
• Autism research and emerging practices
• Employment and workplace inclusion
• Transitioning from childhood to adulthood
• Independent living and life skills
• Relationships, siblings and family dynamics
• Autism advocacy and acceptance
• Autism in underserved communities
• Autism in Jamaica, the Caribbean and internationally
• Leadership, policy and organizational inclusion
• Personal stories of challenges, breakthroughs and hope
Who should apply?
We welcome autistic self-advocates, parents and caregivers, educators, therapists, psychologists, behavior professionals, researchers, physicians and other healthcare professionals, nonprofit leaders, employers, authors, entrepreneurs, community advocates, and individuals with compelling lived experiences.
Guests should be prepared for an authentic conversation rather than simply a promotional interview. We value practical knowledge, respectful differences of perspective, personal experiences, and ideas that listeners can take away and use in their own families, schools, workplaces and communities.
The Heart of Autism Podcast is ultimately about people—their experiences, their voices and the possibilities that emerge when communities listen, learn and work toward greater inclusion.
