42 | beyond the diagnosis Q+A: navigating emotions, therapy choices, and advocacy

answering YOUR questions on today’s episode!

we had a little bit of a different format inspired by my weekly AMA (ask me anything) on Instagram. we chatted through one family’s current circumstances regarding parental acceptance and therapy decision-making. we explore the intricacies of this emotional journey, with tips on how to support each other through this process and acknowledge the importance of experiencing emotions at your own pace. we also chat through the sometimes daunting task of selecting the right therapeutic support for an autistic child.
