In this episode, Jill and Mark celebrate Autism Awareness Month. The entire episode is dedicated to our conversation with Reid Moriarti and his mother, Andrea.

Reid is charismatic. He is joy in human form. Reid has autism. Reid is a musician, a content creator, a celebrity interviewer, and a podcaster. I am honestly jealous of all the cool people that he has interviewed on his podcast Talk Time, one of my favorites being Andy Grammer.

Andrea Moriarti has written two books: One-Track Mind and Radical Inclusion. I am reading her first book and can’t wait to finish it and start the next one.
