In this week’s episode, and the final for 2020, I speak to Brooke, mum to Ethan and Estelle. When Ethan was one, Brooke noticed that he wasn’t reaching his milestones, she reached out to her doctor who assured her everything was fine. After a year and a half of looking for answers, he was diagnosed with autism. Brooke talks about this journey and what it means for her family, including the strain it put on her relationship. Brooke also experienced post natal depression with both of her children. She speaks frankly about what she experienced leading up to her diagnosis, and the stigmas she faced when she opened up about it.

Thanks to Brooke for being so open and raw about her journey.
