  • Holmes' Cinema Clues CrossOver Edition: Parenthood with Cinema Agents Dan & Stephanie

    Holmes' Cinema Clues CrossOver Edition: Parenthood with Cinema Agents Dan & Stephanie
    Oct 12 2026
    This month we want to introduce you to our new YouTube Show
    https://www.youtube.com/@HolmesCinemaCluesAutisminMedia
    So welcome to the podcast crossover month!
    Our new show if you want to see the clips that we used today in the podcast, a new show drops on YouTube every Friday night.
    What if your favorite characters were leaving clues?Holmes’ Cinema Clues is a YouTube series hosted by Dr. Stephanie Holmes, a certified autism specialist, and Dan Holmes, who is neurodivergent himself. Together they examine movies, television, and pop culture through the lens of lived experience and professional expertise, exploring how autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent identities appear on screen — whether explicitly named or quietly coded into the characters audiences connect with most.
    ​
    Each episode treats media like a case file. With neurodivergent guests, clinicians, and behavioral experts, the show investigates representation: what works, what falls into stereotype, and why certain portrayals resonate so strongly with viewers. The goal isn’t necessarily a diagnosis — it’s insight. A smarter way to watch stories and understand how media shapes identity, belonging, and perception.
    ​
    Sharp, accessible, and grounded in both science and lived reality, Holmes’ Cinema Clues invites viewers to follow the evidence hidden in plain sight, and to see representation with new clarity.
    ​
    Holmes’ Cinema Clues is sponsored by Autism Spectrum Resources for Marriage & Family LLC, supporting healthier relationships and deeper understanding in neurodiverse families.

  • Internal Family Systems for All NeuroTypes: Integration & Unburdening with Jesus with Author Kimberly June Miller, LMFT

    Internal Family Systems for All NeuroTypes: Integration & Unburdening with Jesus with Author Kimberly June Miller, LMFT
    Sep 21 2026
    Today on Neurodiverse Christian Couples, Dr. Stephanie Holmes is joined by guest co-host Jenilee Rachel, filling in for Dan, for a conversation with Kimberly June Miller, MTh, LMFT, co-author with Dr. Alison Cook of Boundaries for Your Soul. Together, they explore Internal Family Systems (IFS) from a distinctly Christian perspective. IFS gives us language for understanding the different “parts” of ourselves—the protective parts, wounded parts, critical voices, fears, and responses that can sometimes seem to compete for control. Kimberly discusses how this framework can be integrated with Christian faith, helping us approach those parts with curiosity and compassion rather than shame or condemnation while inviting the presence and leadership of God into the places within us that need healing. Boundaries for Your Soul describes this as learning to develop healthy internal boundaries so that overwhelming thoughts and emotions can be heard and understood without being allowed to take over our lives.
    Kimberly June Miller, MTh, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, speaker, retreat leader, and founder of Leading Wholeheartedly, a ministry devoted to helping Christian leaders cultivate healthy inner lives. Before becoming a therapist, Kimberly served as a campus minister with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Harvard University. She holds graduate degrees in theology and clinical psychology and is Certified and Level 2 trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy, with additional training in Imago Relationship Therapy, Gottman, and Prepare-Enrich. Her work specializes in the integration of psychology and spirituality and in helping people recognize that difficult emotions and internal conflicts do not have to be enemies—they can become places where God meets us and transformation occurs.
    Kimberly's books:
    Boundaries for the Soul
    Spiritual Wellness Bible
    Additional information from Kimberly
    1. Not all meaningful connection is human-to-human. On the IFS Talks podcast, Sarah Bergenfield reminds us that many autistic individuals experience deep connection—to animals, objects, places, or sensory rituals—not as a trauma response, but as a natural way to feel grounded and connected. For some on the spectrum, a dog, a blanket, a favorite tree, or even a familiar texture offers a steady, anchoring presence that helps them feel safe and settled. In IFS, we honor each part’s wisdom—and for some, connection with the other-than-human world is exactly what brings regulation, joy, and wholeheartedness.
    2. Dr. Stephanie adds that IFS has been researched as helpful for ASD/ND; IFS is helpful for all neurotypes!

    And if this conversation leaves you wanting to explore IFS more personally through the lens of neurodiversity or neurodiverse marriage, Jenilee Rachel offers coaching for neurodivergent individuals and couples, providing a space to explore your own “parts,” patterns, relationships, and spiritual growth with a coach who understands the neurodiverse experience.

  • Boundaries: Limiting Setting Necessary Ruptures Inviting Growth

    Boundaries: Limiting Setting Necessary Ruptures Inviting Growth
    Sep 14 2026
    Today as we have been talking about rupture and repair and attachment, we need to discuss boundaries, which Dr. Curt Thompson calls "limit setting necessary ruptures."
    Key points from Dr. Stephanie and Barb's discussion on what boundaries are and are not:
    Core ideas
    1. Ruptures are inevitable in relationships.
    2. Not every rupture should be repaired in the same way.
    3. A boundary can create a rupture without being wrong.
    4. “No” is part of healthy development and maturity.
    5. A boundary is about my participation, not controlling you.
    6. Boundaries are not punishment.
    7. Love and unlimited access are not the same thing.
    8. Forgiveness, trust, and reconciliation are different things.
    You can forgive someone without immediately restoring access or trust. Trust is rebuilt
    through consistent behavior, and reconciliation requires movement from both people.
    9. One person cannot create mutual repair.
    You can tell the truth, apologize, forgive, release vengeance, and remain open to
    change, but you cannot:
    o repent for someone else,
    o make them tell the truth,
    o make them care about their impact,
    o create mutual trust while they continue violating it.
    10. Repair requires changed conditions, not simply good intentions.
    11. Patience is not passivity; hope is not denial.
    12. Sometimes stepping back is the appropriate response to rupture.
    13. Being fully known includes having your “no” known.
    14. Healthy attachment doesn't mean fusion/enmenshment
    15. Jesus modeled love with limits.
    Please look up the Being Known Podcast, Season 11 Dr. Curt Thompson does an entire series on Ruptures and Repair, and not all ruptures are repairable!

  • Beyond Neurotype- Where Does Attachment Strategy fit? with Cyd & Dr. Geoff Holsclaw

    Beyond Neurotype- Where Does Attachment Strategy fit? with Cyd & Dr. Geoff Holsclaw
    Sep 7 2026
    I asked Dr. Wilder about Neurodiversity & Attachment, since not a lot of research is out there on autism and attachment. Most research was on neurotypical individuals. My question was about adding a layer of attachment to neurodiversity. Response: Consider that attachment styles are acquired through experience. Dismissives set their attachment signal volume too low Distracted set their attachment signal volume too high Distracted have their attachment signals going out of range at times So, attachment signal volume is adjustable to some extent. But, suppose that the basic system amplification factor is already out of the normal range—then some ND responses may be attachment styles that develop out of range rather than a different phenomenon. Rev. Jim Wilder, Ph.D.
    So with that question in mind, we invited the authors of Landscapes of the Soul, Cyd & Dr. Geoff Holsclaw, on to discuss our attachment strategies and how that has to do with neurotype.
    Cyd Holsclaw is a Jesus‑centered, transformation‑focused coach, spiritual director, and pastor who integrates neuroscience, embodiment, and spiritual practices to help people secure their attachment to God, build resilience, and live more fully in alignment with their purpose www.cydholsclaw.com. She is a Certified Professional Coach (PCC), Certified NLP Master Practitioner, Certified Spiritual Director, and trained in Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. Cyd has authored Does God Really Like Me? Discovering the God Who Wants to Be With Us (2020) and Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You Into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection (2025). She co‑hosts the Attaching to God podcast and co‑directs the Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation and Relational Neuroscience Cyd is co‑pastor of youth and families at Vineyard North in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has over 20 years in pastoral ministry
    Geoff Holsclaw (Ph.D., Marquette University) is a theologian, pastor, and author whose work bridges theological anthropology, spiritual formation, and relational neuroscience thebiblicalmind.org. He has taught theology at seminaries since 2013 and served in pastoral ministry since 2003, first in the Chicago area and now in Grand Rapids, Michigan thebiblicalmind.org. Geoff is co‑pastor of youth and families at Vineyard North, an affiliate professor of theology at Northern Seminary, and co‑author of Prodigal Christianity and Does God Really Like Me? Inspiration Ministries. He is co‑host of the Attaching to God podcast and co‑founder of the Center for Embodied Faith, a ministry connecting attachment theory and Christian spiritual formation. Geoff’s writing and teaching focus on embodied faith, attachment, and the integration of science and spirituality in discipleship geoffreyholsclaw.net.
    Together, Cyd and Geoff have co‑authored multiple books, launched the Center for Embodied Faith, and co‑host a podcast exploring how neuroscience and attachment theory can deepen Christian faith and relational health .

  • What is the Connection of NeuroInflammation & Autism with Dr. Eric Weiss

    What is the Connection of NeuroInflammation & Autism with Dr. Eric Weiss
    Aug 31 2026
    Discussion: Dr. Holmes and Dr. Weiss discuss the John Hopkins and current Duke University studies on neuroinflammation and the brain, with specifics on the impact on the autistic brain. Dr. Weiss shares his personal story of stem-cell treatment and the impact on his young adult son with autism who went from having a few words at the age of 23 to living independently. Dr. Eric Weiss is a leader in advanced regenerative medicine and the co-author of Educating Marston. Founder of the North Florida Stem Cells Clinic, Dr. Weiss provides stem cell replacement therapy to treat various conditions such as Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), with a special focus on the treatment of Autism. Dr. Weiss co-wrote Educating Marston with his wife, Christine Weiss, as a memoir of their journey through programs and therapies to improve the quality of life of their autistic son, Marston. Trying seemingly everything under the sun, nothing clicked until they discovered stem cell replacement therapy in conjunction with intensive work at programs like the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. Once with limited verbal communication abilities, Marston can now hold a conversation and do so much more. With Educating Marston, Dr. Weiss is on a mission to help fellow parents of children on the autism spectrum and spread the word about stem cell replacement therapy as a treatment therapy for autism. Dr. Weiss and Educating Marston have been featured on local and national outlets including LA Weekly, Life & Style, Wake Up with Marci, and more. A graduate of Duke University Medical School, Dr. Weiss completed his general surgery residency in the University of California system and a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery residency at the University of Miami. Board certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (American Board of Plastic Surgery), Dr. Weiss is also a Fellow (FACS) in the American College of Surgeons, Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners, Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Greater Jacksonville Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, and a volunteer with “Hands Healing Hearts,” which makes annual medical missions to South America to perform reconstructive surgery on patients with birth defects. Dr. Weiss lives with his wife Christine in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. Buy the Book HereEducating Marston WebsiteNorth Florida Stem Cells WebsiteMedical Daily Article
