Jennifer’s daughter has autism and epilepsy, and at 11 years old was diagnosed with Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. Some of her seizures were uncontrollable crying episodes. Emma is completely non-verbal and during the pandemic she didn’t understand virtual school and cried because she saw her friends and couldn’t understand why she couldn’t see them in person. Emma goes to a school an hour away from her house and Jenn had multiple battles with the different transportation companies.
