I’m April, an occupational therapist, autism advocate, and the host of Adulting with Autism, a podcast dedicated to elevating the voices of late-diagnosed adults, parents, and professionals navigating life on the spectrum. As a mom to an autistic young adult, I blend clinical insight with lived experience—offering honest conversations, practical tools, and moments of levity for those walking similar paths.

I’m passionate about bridging generational gaps around neurodivergence, mental health, and independent living. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or neurodivergent adult yourself, my goal is to make sure no one feels alone in the process of “figuring it out.” When I’m not recording, you can find me writing, drinking too much espresso, or planning my second home in South Korea.
