About This Episode: It's Father Friday!!! I had a great conversation with Dad Jake and I just loved what he had to say about raising a neurodivergent child. Here are just some of the things we discussed:

-Co-parenting an ND with an ex
-Opening up the dialogue about the parents' emotions in this journey
-Redefining Autism
-Normalizing therapy
-Being skeptical of a diagnosis at first
-information overload when receiving a diagnosis
