Today we're joined again by Janice Kern for part two of our conversation on building a community. We talk more about how we work with our children to encourage them to make a connection with family members, friends and schoolmates. Janice also talks about how she has used social media as a tool to create a community for her son. The key to all of these tips is that it doesn't happen quickly or easily but it makes the result so much sweeter! 

"We made it happen first. We included him in really small ways first and then it grew into something bigger."

BUILDING A COMMUNITY PART TWO WITH JANICE KERN

There is comfort in having friends that have been on the same path you're on. We are those friends! Our names are Jackie and Ben, and we have a daughter (Jordyn) and a son (Hudson.) You might know us from the SUMMER SHIRT PROJECT on Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok, and maybe you own one of our shirts. (If so ... THANK YOU!) At age two, Jordyn was diagnosed with autism. We started looking for as much input as we could gather so we could be the best possible parents and advocates for her. Over the past two decades we've learned a lot and we are using this podcast to share those lessons, experiences, and resources. Whether you are new to a diagnosis, been on the journey for many years, or simply want to help make the world a better place for individuals with disabilities, this podcast is for you. When you encounter autism (or any disability), the feelings and questions you have are perfectly normal. It's important to talk about these, and we will address them in this podcast. We'll also share what we've done right, what we've done wrong, and what we wish we did differently. We're going to be here for everyone because we need everyone to make the world a kinder place for individuals with disabilities. Welcome to the BE KIND TO EVERYONE podcast. - Jackie, Ben, Jordyn, and Hudson
