Welcome to the premiere of Hi & Stuff, our new podcast focused on parenting, autism, and support for caregivers.  Hi and Stuff is a brand new podcast about parenting, autism, and caring for caregivers. I am your host, Nicoletta LaMarca Sacco. I am a writer, daughter, wife, and over 50 mom in a midlife process. This podcast is about what I wish I had known when my kids were younger.  I am on my mom-opause journey. Won’t you join me? We'll discuss what the show's name means, the challenges faced by adult individuals on the spectrum, and what we wish we had known about fitting in with mainstream society. Know that we keep things real, raw, and quirky, with an added dash of humor. Don't miss our pilot show about sandwich generation, parenting, and a poetry reading at the end.
