Hearth & Home
When a child receives an autism diagnosis, the impact can be felt throughout the entire family. Whether it’s not knowing how to accommodate your autistic child’s needs while struggling to make time for your neurotypical children, or learning how to balance self-care while rushing to and from appointment after appointment, families often struggle to cope with this new way of life. This season on Embracing Autism, we focus on the family. From teaching our autistic children independence, to nurturing our marriages, while making sure we still meet the needs of neurotypical siblings, and beyond– tune in as we take discuss why it’s important not to lose sight of ourselves and our family unit when raising autistic children.
