Today's episode is a bit different, because I won't be doing any interviewing - I'm flying solo. It's been a rough week for us all, because my father-in-law died on Monday afternoon, and he was just a great guy. A coach, a teacher, a veteran, a lifelong athlete, and a kind and gentle man. I'm feeling nostalgic, so I wanted to give a look back and give you guys a quick guide to our previous episodes to help you find a good one you might have missed.    The episodes from the parent perspective are:            Numbers 4 &amp; 5 with Keri Bowers, fillmaker and art therapist on raising a son on the spectrum                Number 7 with Dan Korins on his son, who has an amazing voice               Number 8 with Rupert Isaacson, NYT best-selling author and filmmaker of "The Horse Boy"   Number 12 with my husband Jeff Waites, on raising the Romanator           Number 14 with Wayne Gilpin, author, and autism book and magazine publisher    Number 18 with Kara Wilson, on raising a daughter with Asperger's                Number 21 with Margret Ericsdottir, filmmaker and mom of a nonverbal teenaged boy    Number 28 with Cynthia Lord, NYT best-selling children's author, and mom to a young adult son with autism   Number 29 with Julie Cole, entrepreneur and mother of 6 kids, the oldest of whom has autism  Writing from the first-hand perspective of autism    Episode 2 with Temple Grandin, autism rock star   Episodes 9 &amp; 10 with Jennifer McIlwee Myers, Aspie and author   Episode 23 with Tom Angleberger, Aspie, NYT best-selling author of a series of kids books with Aspie main characters  The sibling perspective is highlighted with my own kids in episode 6 Authors- we have a bunch in the parent category (Rupert Isaacson, Wayne Gilpin, Cynthia Lord), but also:                Episode 3 with James Ball, chair of the national Autism Society and autism behavioral consultant               Episode 20 with scholar, NYT best-selling author and speaker Andrew SolomonAnd then there are therapists and therapies on                Episode 13 with Alisa Anderson on adaptive ski                Episode 16 with Sarah Bronson on therapeutic horseback riding   Episode 17 with Jill Schacht on occupational therapy                Episode 19 with Elizabeth Mortati on art therapy                Episode 25 with Rachel See on music therapy  School &amp; Home focused:                We talk in-home support in number 11 with Lauren O'Neil               We talk school inclusion in episode 24 with Tim Villegas   Episode 22 with Eric Tivers is about how ADHD tends to co-occur with autism   And then there are two episodes not specifically related to autism, but to being different:Episode 1 with NYT best-selling author, wine expert and social media guru Gary Vaynerchuk    Episode 27 with NYT best-selling author, magazine publisher, super nice guy, and business consultant Chris BroganAnd the last episodes I haven't mentioned are about Kid Gigawatt (that's us!)     Number 15 is about why we sell t-shirts to microfund therapies for kiddos with autism    Number 26 is about the road trip documentary movie we're making this summer  And today is episode 30, so there you have it!
