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 one family's parenting experiences, you’re in the right place. (We’re nice, we promise.)

E50: Connections
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Building community has looked different for each of our kids. With Nora and June, connections with other families often happen naturally through school, activities, and everyday conversations. With Milo, it hasn’t always been that simple.
We talk about how communication differences, special education settings, and the structure of school and therapy programs can sometimes make families like ours feel a little invisible. And as we mark 50 episodes of the podcast, we reflect on why continuing to share our story is one of the ways we try to connect.
Topics covered: autism parenting, building community, special education experiences, parenting multiple children, communication differences, disability inclusion, parenting a child with autism
