155. A Candid Conversation About Raising a Child with A Dual Diagnosis

Hey friends, it’s April! And in honor of April being Autism Acceptance Month, we’re chatting about Micha’s journey parenting Ace, her son with a dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and autism. And before we get started, we want to just say that we’re not experts on this topic and we are approaching it as learners. That’s why we’re grateful for the many autistic adults who share their stories for us all to learn from! And we appreciate your grace as we navigate this conversation too. So join us as we discuss finding community in the dual diagnosis space, the complexities of ABA therapy, and the root behind our hopes and dreams for our children. Let's keep learning together!
