Telling your child they are autistic & school visits

#1 This podcast is not about telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do, what is or isn't right & bombarding you who information leaving you feeling deflated, tired, not good enough. This podcast does not provide any answers it's a just a conversation with a friend on the sofa with a coffee in hand, someone who knows what you are living & does not judge. Something to resonate with and feel less isolated about. Needless to say, there are no straight answers about when or how or even if re telling your child they are autistic. Accepting autism in a child goes hand in hand with finding the right school so there is advice on how to approach school visits and why they are so important.#2 N/A#3 0:00 Intro2:52 Future guests to share how/if they told their child they were autistic4:08 No right time & no right way.
