Adulting with Autism
Send us a text
Join Adulting With Autism as we sit down with debut Canadian author Mila Maxwell—mother, firefighter, and co-owner of a rural gym—whose life and writing are shaped by growing up alongside a sister with cerebral palsy. In this episode, Mila shares an honest conversation about the realities of sibling relationships, disability representation in fiction, and the emotional complexities of family dynamics.
Discover why audiences connect powerfully to her story, and how fiction rooted in lived experience can amplify the voices of underrepresented communities. Whether you’re a reader, caregiver, sibling, or simply curious about the emotional depth behind autism and difference, you’ll find resonance and support here.
