Imagine facing the challenges of parenting not one, but three young children with autism, each with their own unique set of needs and behaviors.

Selena Lanelle, a brave mother and author, joins me to share her deeply moving story that stretches from the heartache of early autism signs in her twins to the complexities of navigating a world that often misunderstands non-verbal communication.
With raw honesty, Selena recounts her family's journey through domestic violence, the reflection on autistic traits within her own marriage, and the eventual empowerment they found on the other side of adversity.

In our conversation, Selena doesn't just recount her trials; she also offers hope and guidance through her books, "Autism Avengers" and "Unveiling Shadows."

These works provide a beacon of light for parents in similar situations, reinforcing the message that they are not alone.
We also address the delicate task of balancing a social life amidst the unpredictability of public outings and delve into strategies for fostering independence.
Selena's story is more than just an account of her life—it's a testament to resilience, a source of support, and an invitation to join a community that understands the unique triumphs and challenges of raising children on the autism spectrum.
