About this listen

In this episode, we talk all about setting goals with Alec and why goal setting matters for everyone — on the autism spectrum or not. Every individual deserves to feel pride, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment, and for some, that journey simply requires additional support and structure.

Alec has been setting goals from a young age. We started small with attainable, short-term goals and gradually built toward larger, yearly goals that support independence, confidence, and growth. Along the way, we’ve learned how powerful it is to break goals into manageable steps and celebrate progress at every stage.

We share how we’ve adapted goal setting over time, what’s worked, what we’ve adjusted, and why helping individuals on the spectrum experience success is just as important as the goals themselves. Whether you’re supporting a young child, a teen, or an adult with autism, this episode offers encouragement and practical ideas to help make goal setting meaningful and achievable — piece by piece.
