Episode 77- Embracing the chaos, with autism mom, Leah Behrens




Adventures in Autism show

Summary: Today I’m chatting with autism mom and blogger, Leah Behrens. Leah is the proud mama to three beautiful kids- two of which are on the autism spectrum. Leah shares her journey with both children, and how her sons early diagnosis led her to seek a diagnosis for his older sister as well. While both are the spectrum, Leah explains how different they are and how each has unique strengths and challenges. Leah and I had a very honest, open conversation about family life and motherhood- especially when autism is in the mix. We talked about the fear that can come with growing your family after an autism diagnosis. This is something I get asked about often and it was so nice to chat with another mama who “gets it”! We also talk about how she’s planning for her kids future and her feelings around that. I had the best time chatting with Leah, I hope you enjoy listening!
