Author: BCB June 26, 2025 Duration: 1:01:36

In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Jack Vaughan, a passionate advocate and former team member of More Mascots Please C.I.C. Jack shares his moving story about his younger brother Louie, who lives with both autism and ADHD, and how those experiences inspired his journey into community work and inclusion.


We discuss:


  • What it’s like growing up with a sibling who is neurodivergent


  • The realities of autism and ADHD — beyond the labels


  • How Jack’s community involvement helped shape local support


  • The importance of empathy, patience, and understanding


This episode is a powerful reminder that behind every diagnosis is a family, and behind every challenge is a story of strength.
