There are no instruction manuals when you are sent home from the hospital, Just allowing first time parents to walk right out of there with a life to mold. It is wading through the books, the research, the trial and error. MUCH to figure out. Then add the adventure of learning to parent a non verbal child.
Natalie talks about:
The expected and unexpected adventure of being a mom
Finding a doctor, navigating the medical world and school systems.
Vaccination schedules
Your kid’s health care and education team
Some plus and minuses that come with diagnosis.
Raising a non verbal child.
Interacting with a child, potentially, on the autistic spectrum
Advocating for your kids… and for ourselves.
Wanting the best for her kids as they grow and navigate this world.
And much more!
