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.)

E67: I Need Some Paper

Milo needs more paper - always.
Drawing has become his favorite activity over the last month or so, and his depictions of characters and scenes from Up, Despicable Me, Anastasia, and K-Pop Demon Hunters are scattered all over our house.
He will take one scene - like the house from Up, floating in the sky, being held up by hundreds of colorful balloons - and draw it over and over and over again.
His renewed interest in drawing has become a new bridge in his communication with others - and given us a peek inside his imagination.
We're also sharing some quick back-to-school updates and a funny sibling story.
Topics discussed: autism, autism parenting, communication
