IDIOT with Laura Clery

Today on Idiot, I sit down with 16-year-old Toren Wolf and his powerhouse mom, Serenity Christine—and I’m telling you, this is one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had. If you don’t know who they are yet, look them up now. Their videos have captured hearts around the world for their brutal honesty, vulnerability, and hope.🧠 This episode dives into:    •    When and how both Serenity and Toren were diagnosed as autistic    •    The signs they missed, the systems that failed them, and the moment it all clicked    •    Self-injurious behavior, stimming, masking, shutdowns—the things no one talks about    •    PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) and why it’s so misunderstood    •    How Toren went from struggling in traditional school to thriving in homeschooling    •    Autism and sexuality: identity, fluidity, and neurodivergent expression    •    Serenity’s mind-blowing story as a mother, an advocate, and a late-diagnosed autistic woman navigating the world and raising a phenomenal kid💥 This is for every parent, every educator, every person who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit the mold. This is for the moms crying in their car. For the teens who feel alone. For the people trying to understand their neurodivergent loved ones.Toren and Serenity go there—sharing the hard, the beautiful, the gut-wrenching, and the sacred. Their courage is next level. Their bond is undeniable.📢 Share this episode.🎧 Let it open your heart.❤️‍🔥 Let it teach you something no textbook ever could. 🎬 **SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE LAUGHS!** 🎬 Never miss a hilarious moment! ➡️ [Click here to subscribe](https://bit.ly/2LEwDQL) 🎉 --- 🎙 **WATCH FULL-LENGTH INTERVIEWS!** Want more?

Bo Peoples, aka Suburban Prince, is a friend whose TikToks have had me crying laughing at 2 a.m. more times than I can count. He brings that wild energy you see online into every room he walks into, but what people don’t always see is how sharp and intentional he is behind the scenes. In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos of going viral, how he crafts his characters, and how he’s achieved real success by refusing to give up—even when the odds were stacked against him. --- 🎬 **SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE LAUGHS!** 🎬 Never miss a hilarious moment! ➡️ [Click here to subscribe](https://bit.ly/2LEwDQL) 🎉 --- 🎙 **WATCH FULL-LENGTH INTERVIEWS!** Want more?
