What would you do if your child was being sent out of the classroom every single day in kindergarten?

On this episode of Let’s Plant Houses, I talk with Jordan Hendrix about her family’s transformative autism journey—what began with daily classroom removals and judgment from others evolved into a powerful story of discovery, advocacy, and hope. From the early signs they missed as new parents to eventually finding the perfect micro school where her 8-year-old son Asher can thrive, Jordan shares it all. She also opens up about her own experience as a neurodivergent adult with ADHD and the sense of relief that came with Asher’s Level 1 autism diagnosis, which opened the door to life-changing resources and therapies.

This episode is packed with practical tips—from ABA and equestrian therapy to surprising tools like chiropractic care. Jordan’s insights on self-advocacy, sensory-friendly spaces, and building community offer real hope and guidance for families navigating autism.
