Welcome to the first episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum with Barbara Lazarony — or as her friends call her, Blaze.

In this gentle, grounding introduction to the podcast, Blaze offers a heartfelt invitation: what if love isn’t something we have to earn by masking or shrinking ourselves — but something we create by drawing the circle wider?

Using the powerful Edwin Markham quote as an anchor, Blaze speaks directly to the tender experience of feeling left out, misunderstood, or “too much” as a neurodivergent person — and offers a vision of love and belonging that is expansive, kind, and radically inclusive.

You’ll be guided through a reflective story moment designed to shift your nervous system from tension to belonging. You’ll also receive a weekly “Home Play” invitation — a simple, doable prompt to help bring the episode’s insights into your real life.

If you’ve ever felt on the outside of love or acceptance, this episode offers a new path inward — one that honors your full humanity.

Takeaways:

• You are not too much. You are not broken.

• You belong — without needing to earn it.

• Love can start with drawing the circle wider for yourself.
