Seventeen years ago was the first time I heard the word autism. This episode shares the events that lead me to seek an evaluation for my son. How did I know my son needed an evaluation? What did I do when I heard the word autism?
This series of episodes will discuss the start of my journey in seeking to know autism. Reflecting on what I have learned from my children and thousands of other children. This past year, I believe there has been a significant pivot in my perspective in advocating and educating autistics to be independent and self-realize their dreams. Ana Anselma
