The Autism Dad · Partnerships
You’re not buying a post.
You’re buying the network.

Fifteen years of autism parents, across a podcast, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, a newsletter, and a blog indexed since 2009.

Meta stripped sensitive-interest targeting years ago. There is no way to target an autism parent with paid ads, no matter what you are willing to spend. You can bid on search, which is expensive and thin, or you can work with someone who already has the room. That is the real reason to be here, and it is not a reach argument.
They came for the hard days, not the deals.
Fifteen years of writing about raising three autistic kids, including the parts nobody posts. That is why people stay, and it is why a recommendation from me carries weight a rented list never will. It is also the only thing I am actually selling, which is why I protect it.
One sponsorship, the whole network.
You are not buying a post. Your brand rides with an episode everywhere it goes: the ad, the show notes, the blog post, YouTube, the promo Short, the newsletter, and every social promo across five platforms. Dedicated episodes and dedicated social are available on top.
I will tell you the truth about the numbers.
The figures below are medians, not my best month. An average would flatter me and mislead you. I will never promise you a view count, and if I do not think my audience is right for what you sell, I will tell you that instead of taking your money.
What a sponsorship includes.
Every one of these, on every episode you sponsor.

What a placement actually reaches.
Medians, not my best month. A handful of posts carry most of my reach, so an average would flatter me and mislead you.

Combined following
The audience skews 81% women, 66% aged 35 to 54, 62% US. Overwhelmingly parents raising an autistic child, which is a group that is very hard to reach on purpose and very easy to insult by accident.
How I work
I keep a small number of affiliate partnerships and I’m careful about them. What I don’t do is work on commission alone. I get paid for the introduction, not the sale. The moment my income depends on you closing, my audience can feel it, and a recommendation they can’t trust isn’t worth anything to either of us.
Start with a paid placement. If it lands and you want an affiliate arrangement on top afterward, I’m glad to. That order matters.

Tell me who you are and I’ll send both straight over, along with what I’d honestly recommend for what you’re trying to do. If my audience isn’t right for you, I’ll say so.
