What happens when your child's first words start to disappear?
That's the heart-wrenching question Michelle Morton faced as her son's communication skills regressed and sensory challenges emerged.
In this episode of "Why Not Me? The World," Michelle takes us through her powerful journey, highlighting a pivotal moment at Chuck E. Cheese that confirmed their suspicions of autism.
Through her candid storytelling, Michelle shares how specialized therapies at High Hopes in Franklin, Tennessee, and the adoption of sign language helped her son make remarkable strides in communication.
Navigating the complexities of raising an autistic child within an inclusive school system is no small feat.
Michelle opens up about the crucial role a supportive educational environment has played in enhancing her son's social interactions and speech.
Listeners will gain insight into the daily challenges of sensory sensitivities, feeding therapy, and family dynamics.
Michelle's account vividly illustrates the triggers of meltdowns, the importance of self-regulation, and her son's ability to hyper-focus on certain interests, providing a nuanced picture of their experiences and milestones.
Looking toward the future, Michelle reflects on the hopes and challenges that lie ahead over the next five years.
She emphasizes the necessity of consistent therapy and the heartening progress her son has made, from developing a love for baseball to showing affection more freely.
The episode concludes on a note of gratitude and inspiration, inviting listeners to share their own compelling stories.
