## Resource

This episode of Laugh Lines stayed with me in the best way. This week, Penn and I sit down with Tanner Smith from Love on the Spectrum , and what starts as an interview quickly turns into something so much more meaningful. Tanner shares what it’s like to live on the autism spectrum in a way that’s honest, empowering, and incredibly hopeful. He reminds us that autism looks different for everyone. It can mean learning differently, needing more time, having deep passions, and even living a full, joyful life. We talk about purpose, routines, and the importance of patience for parents and for ourselves. And in a twist we didn’t see coming, Tanner interviews us! He has worked very hard on his conversation skills and it shows. (Seriously, get this guy a podcast!) We also hear from his sister, Midge Smith, about the work she’s doing with Wable—an app helping the neurodivergent community find friendship, employment, and connection. This episode is a reminder that joy isn’t complicated. It’s gratitude. It’s connection. It’s choosing to see the good, even when life isn’t perfect. (And if you’re having a hard day? Tanner’s got you.) We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. You can also watch our podcast on YouTube .
