I actually wrote a chapter in my book, The Clouds That Chase Us: A Journey into Autism, about a birthday party that Nicole hosted for her son. This party was a transformative experience for both Nicole and me. In this conversation, you’ll hear how stepping into bravery as an autism mom transformed me into being fearless about what others perceived about me and my son. You’ll hear about stinky, sweaty birthday party games, the moment Nicole actually learned that I wrote about her in my book, and why bravery is so vital to life.
