In this weeks episode of The Playful Psychologist Podcast, I am joined by Jess from the instagram account @aussieautismfamily. Jess is the mother of two beautiful kids. Her son Jacob is autistic and her account if full of raw and real challenges and successes of raising an autistic child. 

As I also have a younger brother who is autistic and I am extremely passionate about supporting the family as a whole, as they navigate a diagnosis. In this episode, Jess shares the diagnostic journey for her son Jacob, what that process was like for the family, and the emotions that come with receiving a diagnosis. I am so grateful to Jess for sharing her experiences with us. If you would like to follow Jess and her beautiful family on social media, her handle is @aussieautismfamily
