I have a son who is 4 and is awaiting diagnosis, we as a family already know the answer and are trying to learn about ASD to help Harris be the best little boy he can be. I just listened to episode 1 and subscribed immediately after. This podcast has me excited to learn of other mothers journeys and listening to Kathy Lette’s talk has given me such a burst of hope and joy! Thank you, I can’t wait to learn more. Lesley, Glasgow
