I'm Ainslie, a Mum from Sydney raising an Autistic child. I'm going to dive into the raw, messy, magical & deeply human stories of raising Autistic children. Stories from parents, carers, advocates & specialists - some of whom are Autistic themselves. This podcast is a place for carers to feel seen, less alone, inspired and re-energised. It's also for anyone curious about the world of Autism & how they can help contribute to the paradigm shift of viewing Autism through a deficit lense to a lense that celebrates uniqueness, strengths and difference.

'Love on the Spectrum's' - Relationship Counsellor - Jodi Rodgers on the Evolving Perceptions of Autism, Trust, Connection & Finding a Different Way!

In this week's episode, I sat down with the amazing Jodi Rodgers. Many will know Jodi as the beloved Relationship Counsellor from 'Love on the Spectrum, Australia'. Jodie is also a qualified sexologist, counsellor and special education teacher, with over 30 years’ experience in the education, disability and sexuality fields.

In this conversation, we dive into a rich, thoughtful exploration of what it means to support Autistic people in their relationships, friendships, and family dynamics. Jodi opens up about her own journey, fuelled by a love of people, curiosity about human connection and a deep value and respect for the “unique”.

She shares invaluable insights on everything from trust-building and social needs, to consent education, gender identity, and the evolving landscape of autism diagnoses.

Whether you’re a parent, a professional, or simply someone wanting to better understand and support the Autistic community, Jodi brings a clarity, warmth, and wisdom to topics that will resonate for everyone and, quite simply, she’s one of the very best people I’ve ever met.

You’re going to walk away with so much to think about and even more to feel inspired by. You're welcome! X
