Back-to-school season can feel like a big transition for any family—but especially for kids on the spectrum. In this episode of Exploring The Gray, Caleb and I talk about what it’s like to head into middle school, the challenges that come with new routines, and how our family is preparing for the shift.

We share honest reflections about routines, expectations, and what we hope helps. Caleb also takes the lead in Caleb’s Corner, where he talks about the ups and downs of starting a new school year.

✨ Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just curious about the lived experience of autism, this episode offers a real-life look at navigating school transitions in a neurodivergent household.
