Welcome, listeners, I'm so glad you're here! In today's episode you'll hear from Amy, an all-star mother of three, a flight test engineer, and a retired military spouse. Two of Amy's children have autism, and her son also has an autism assistance dog. Amy gives us insight into the world of autism and shares how life-changing her son's service dog has been. She shares her family's story with compassion, candor and humor, and if you want to, you'll learn a lot.

Amy's family is currently raising money for Raising Hope Dogs, the organization that provided their service dog. If you'd like to contribute to their campaign, you can do so here.
