In a bold and emotional new episode of Therapy Session, hosts Kayla Windsor and Alex Mossman spotlight the lived experience of Autism, not from a clinical perspective, but from the voice of someone who lives it daily. This powerful conversation dismantles outdated narratives and calls for a world where empathy, understanding, and true inclusion take center stage.
Shifting the narrative toward acceptance and empathy
[Mesa, Arizona] [April 21, 2025] In the latest episode of Therapy Session, hosts Kayla Windsor and Alex Mossman deliver a moving and deeply personal conversation about autism, told not through the lens of doctors or clinical experts but through the lived experience of someone who is autistic. This honest, heartfelt episode challenges the way society views disability and advocates for a more compassionate, inclusive world.
Titled Therapy Session: Living with Autism, the episode offers listeners a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the daily realities, joys, and challenges of living with autism. Rather than asking how neurodivergent people can adapt to fit into a neurotypical society, the episode asks the bigger, more urgent question: How can society change to better support and embrace people with disabilities, just as they are?
“Too often, the conversation around autism is dominated by clinical voices. This episode is different. It's raw, real, and it comes straight from someone who lives it every single day,” says Kayla Windsor. “We need to start listening to those voices—not to ‘fix’ them, but to understand them, and to let them thrive on their own terms.”
The episode emphasizes a message of radical kindness and understanding, reminding listeners that true inclusion means meeting people where they are, not molding them into something more palatable to the mainstream.
Key themes include:
Breaking down harmful stereotypes and misconceptions about Autism
The emotional toll of constantly being asked to change or mask one's authentic self
A call to action for schools, workplaces, and communities to create environments that adapt to people, not the other way around
The importance of listening to understand, not to diagnose
Whether you're neurodivergent, neurotypical, or somewhere in between, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in building a world where everyone is treated with dignity, kindness, and respect.
A new episode is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube

About the therapy session
Therapy Session is an unfiltered mental health podcast hosted by Kayla Windsor and Alex Mossman, born out of the belief that some of the most powerful conversations about mental health don't come from doctors or psychiatrists, but from the people who live with it every single day.
Each week, Therapy Session offers an emotionally honest space where nothing is off-limits. The stories shared here aren't polished or clinical. They're raw, vulnerable, and real. Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, neurodivergence, or the parts of ourselves we're often too afraid to say out loud, Kayla and Alex foster a safe, supportive environment where guests and listeners alike can finally exhale and feel seen.
This isn't a podcast filled with jargon or textbook advice. It's for the moments when you've felt broken, isolated, or misunderstood. It's for the stories you've never told anyone, not even yourself. And it's a reminder that you're not alone.
By centering the lived experiences of people who struggle with mental health, not just those who treat it, Therapy Session invites a new kind of dialogue, one built on empathy, authenticity, and the belief that healing often starts with being heard.
No sugarcoating. No filters. Just real talk for real people who are trying to make sense of it all. Listen weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
