Interview Synopsis: A Mom’s experiences with dealing with Autism.
And through my talks with her, I found out she has a daughter with autism. And I asked her if she would mind if I interviewed her, and she said yes. So it's been really great. Again, it's been a positive experience for her. And I wanted now, I should say autism is another one of those umbrella terms that covers many things

So, again, I thank you for doing this, and I really appreciate you sharing this story, because it really makes me feel that to know that there are, you know, great, you know, stories of in other, you know, districts in the country about, you know, success stories with, you know, IEP and, you know, students with special needs. You have been a very wonderful, you know, insight for me

But that was an opportunity where my child taught me just from seeing what she went through and just realizing that some of her experiences were very similar to what I went through as a child. Leanne and I talked about just that little girl, little Kayla, and how in that day and age of autism spectrum and some of these issues that we work to support children on today, they didn't know much about, and even if they did, it was seen as being more of a boys issue
They kick a**, and you are definitely one of them. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all you do and for inspiring others. You are exactly the reason why I do this podcast. Have a good day. Bye
I thank you ladies for bringing this story to swell. I learned I'm autistic at 46. I'm 48 now. And it is always, always refreshing to hear stories where parents are celebrating their child instead of being devastated by the label. And it gives me hope for the future. So I just wanted to say thank you

There's no worries, there's no stress, there's no concerns. And so they have trouble wanting to fully incarnate into their bodies. It can be fixed and healed with energy healing sessions, but it's just something to keep in mind. They just are basically caught between two worlds, which is why they have some more challenges than most people. And so one of the things that can really help them is soothing but actually using the Earth to help them soothe and help them ground into their bodies

And I thought about that in regards to my situation with my CP, similar to how people who, when they're older, if they go through a similar situation like a stroke, they can also learn from people who have cerebral palsy, which is basically the same thing as having a stroke, similar symptoms and similar issues. Again, same with autism

I also wanted to add just another point in regards to both autism as well as cerebral palsy in that, you know, I think over the years it has been looked at that both autism and cerebral palsy were both looked at as more both a boy and or male related, you know, condition
You are so very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this. I like you was really, really excited during my interview just to hear a positive spin on things. And I agree. It's always nice when parents celebrate their child. Thanks and have a great day. Bye
It's. Wow. It's really interesting because from the educational and medical perspective, I have a lot of information about autism, which I am going to do a part two of this and definitely go into more detail in terms of what I've learned. But I really appreciate what you had to say because I'd never thought of it from this perspective. So I'm really glad you caught this as well and that we were able to make your day and engage in conversation with you. Thanks again
Each and every single one of us is a little bit differently. Again, same diagnosis in order to get help and medical and educational benefit, but if you meet one person with autism, you meet one person with autism

And it can be very refreshing sometimes, I think, to hear, yeah, you know what, I've dealt with that too, or yeah, I've done that, it didn't work as well for me, but it's awesome that it's worked for you in that perspective. I think that's the biggest thing that we need to get back to is just talking about some of this, especially from the autism perspective. Leanne, definitely agree that you meet one person with autism

Hey, Leanne, just wanted to say that you are most certainly very welcome for joining in on these discussions, which I have to say have been very enlightening and I've really enjoyed sharing my opinions and thoughts, even if my situation might be a little differently. There are some similarities. I have really appreciated you doing this series as a whole because these types of conditions really do need more exposure and more awareness and just people to have more empathy and understanding

Hi Kayla. I just wanted to say that you are so very welcome for all the replies and it has truly been a great thing to be able to participate in this topic with you and to share personal experiences and what has worked and what hasn't worked. Even if our situation is maybe a little different in regards to cerebral palsy and autism. But I will say that I do agree with you on a few things
We're still all human, we're still all amazing people, and we all deserve a chance to be loved and to just live the best life we can, the best way we know how. So, anyway, thank you. I appreciate you as well, and it's just been wonderful. And I'm really hoping this grows them. The more the better, as far as I'm concerned, and I'm definitely going to spread the word. So yeah. Thank you. Thank you
You. Thank you so much for your candor and for being an active participant in my community. I really appreciate it. The more we get the word out, the more positive we can make this experience for all, I think, the better off we will be. So thank you, my friend. I really appreciate your candor

And also that, yes, we do all desire to be loved, and we should be loved. And the more positivity that we can spread and the more hope that we can give, the better. And this certainly will grow over time, because positive energy creates positive outcomes. So again, thank you so much for doing this, and I appreciate you so very much. And I'm really glad to call you friend. Sending so much love
Cuckoo, not going to lie, but I wouldn't do what I do if I didn't love it. So thank you for your kind words. Definitely appreciated. And, yeah, I am definitely hoping that this will grow, and I agree with you. You put positive energy out in the world, and you'll get positive energy back. So I am really hoping this will grow. I think it will help many people

Positivity can overcome so many things, can overcome so much darkness and so much hate and bring so much good to this world, can bring us all together again. We need more of that in this world. And yes, I'm sure this will grow over time as it has continued to. And I'm certainly very happy to have been a part of it and to have been able to help you as well as, yes, you have helped me, most certainly
