S1 EP3: The Weight of Silence -Autism, Motherhood, and Art with Heather Cadenhead


Listen Later

When Heather's son Milo was a little behind on milestones, she tried not to worry. Boys often take longer, she would reassure herself. But eventually the markers became impossible to ignore. Heather takes us behind the scenes into her son's autism diagnosis and what it's like today, parenting a non-verbal teenager. Heather is vulnerable, raw, and honest about her life's challenges as well as its joys. She finds rest in her faith as well as writing and art. A profoundly important episode to remind us how we can value (and listen to) silence.
