Beyond the Label Podcast
We’re Ty & Lisa Kellogg—parents to three great kids: Nora, Milo, and June. Our daughters are neurotypical, and our son is autistic. Since Milo’s diagnosis in January 2023, we’ve been learning how to navigate parenting, family dynamics, and life in ways we never expected.
Spoiler alert: We don’t have all the answers (to parenting or podcasting), but we’re figuring it out as we go. This show is our way of processing the highs and lows, sharing what’s real—grief, hope, fear, laughter—and connecting with others on similar journeys.
If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, love someone who is, or just want an honest look at family life beyond the label, you’re in the right place. (We’re nice, we promise.)

E11: Diagnosis
Milo was diagnosed with autism the month after his fourth birthday.
As the parents of a young neurodivergent child, we will make it to the "other side" of challenges over and over again - just like we made it to the other side of the autism diagnostic process. Now, 2+ years removed from receiving Milo's diagnosis, we're sharing how we got there.
- What compelled us to pursue the diagnosis
- What the process looked like, from the screening phase to the team evaluation
- How we felt when we received the diagnosis
- What surprised us about what came next
- What we did immediately following the diagnosis
