How does
and her son Milo, who is non-verbal, communicate? It turns out there are a thousand different practical ways. And what happens when one day Milo understands, verbalizes, and uses a word all day long and the next it’s just… gone? These are the difficult, raw, and honest insights into Heather’s life with a non-speaking autistic son. I so appreciate her vulnerability and honesty in this bonus question, as well as in the main podcast episode, which you can listen to now, wherever you tune into podcasts.

Bonus Question with Heather Cadenhead
Oct 16, 2025
∙ Paid
Thank you sincerely so much for being a paid Born of Wonder subscriber. Your support allows me to do these podcasts.
People think it’s free, but having a hosting platform, paying for mics, Adobe Audition, Descript, music and any other editing tools costs me about $100 a month.
It is not an understatement to say I wouldn’t be making these episodes without your support. I hope that this little bit of extra bonus audio is a small thank you for making it possible!
