On The Hard Days

Ep.50 Mom Eileen Lamb on Accepting Autism Differences in Her Children (And Herself)


Listen Later

In This Episode: This was an eye-opening conversation with Eileen Lamb, the mother behind the social media handle The Autism Cafe. Her two sons are autistic (one severely) and she herself is also on the spectrum. Here are some things we discuss:

-Understanding your child with the same diagnosis as you
-How getting an autism diagnosis leads to better services
-The stigma of autism in other countries
-Lack of media attention on people with severe autism
-The struggles with non-verbal autism and not being able to communicate

Eileen can be found @theautismcafe and has also published two books: All Across The Spectrum and Be The One.
