"Even though my son is 18, he will forever be 8 to 10 years old."  Today's episode with mom guest, Dorothy, is a powerful one! Don't miss it!

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Her child's life with Tourette Syndrome, Autism, intellectual disabilities, hearing loss, and a gene mutation affecting medication
  • What tics were like at the beginning of a Tourette journey
  • The challenge of adoption without knowing the genetics of the birth parents
  • How her child cannot tolerate medications for more than a short time
  • Even after having been to the top specialists and clinics, life is still unpredictable
