About this listen

Joey's Guest this week, Dave Boyd. One family’s autism journey—early milestones, the appointment that changed everything, diagnosis, five years on Ontario waitlists with no funding, and the day-to-day strain that doesn’t show up in paperwork. Dave walks through what they tried (therapies, diet changes) and why they ultimately traveled overseas—costs, doubt, and what they observed at home after. Joey keeps it plain-English and practical: systems, routines, money, and the reality for parents and siblings.

Note: This is one family’s experience, not medical advice. Always consult qualified clinicians about care decisions. New episodes weekly.
