Season 2 Episode 191

Autistic adulting health mystery? In this raw ramble on Adulting with Autism, host April (autistic OT) chats with environmental consultant Brian Karr on mold exposure impacting neurodivergents—symptoms like neurological fog, skin issues, gut chaos from hidden home triggers. Co-founder of We Inspect and The Dust Test, Brian's helped 3,000+ hypersensitive folks (personal story: Leak led to forgetfulness/eczema, saved by expertise). Certified Microbial Investigator (CMI), he decodes water damage myths (no visible mold? Still risky), dust testing (PCR for species/load, correlates to labs), and remediation (prioritize sources, no full gut needed).

Transcript gems: Multiple symptoms across family = environmental red flag (leave home test: Vacation relief? Home flare? Mold alert!), air purifiers as maintenance (not cure—fire analogy), and screening before moves (Swiffer-like dust kit for rentals). For autistic young adults with unexplained issues, parents spotting patterns, or OT squad linking home to health, this is your 'what the actual?' detox toolkit—no false negatives, just actionable inspections.
