In this deeply personal episode of Adulting with Autism, host April shares the raw, real, and remarkable reflections on her autistic son Ahzerei's first week of college at Marshall University. From roommate tension to navigating Vocational Rehabilitation, this is the story of a young man choosing to stay, stand strong, and hold his own — and the mama bear cheering him on from a distance.

Plus — we're officially moving to a Monday/Wednesday/Saturday episode schedule starting September to bring you even more content, stories, and advocacy from the neurodivergent adulting journey.

If you're an autistic young adult, a parent, or a professional supporting this transition to independence, you need this episode. This is about resilience, real-world advocacy, and the power of choosing your own path.

🔗 Subscribe now and follow our journey — because independence doesn't happen overnight, but the decision to rise up starts with one powerful week.
