Скачать или смотреть Choosing Understanding Over Compliance | The James Project Podcast – Episode 4

In Episode 4 of The James Project Podcast — Autism Tools & Learning, I talk about how my response to public spaces has changed over time — from leaving stores during moments of overstimulation to staying, speaking up, and allowing my son the space he needs to regulate.

This episode explores the quiet pressure parents feel in places like the mall, the zoo, and other public settings, where stares and comments can make it feel easier to rush a child or make the moment end quickly.

Rather than focusing on obedience or appearances, this conversation centers on choosing understanding, safety, and presence — even when it’s uncomfortable.

This episode is for parents who are:
• navigating public outings with a child who regulates differently
• learning when to stay, when to leave, and when to speak up
• growing into their confidence as an advocate for their child
