Today’s interview is with Kate Swenson, author of Forever Boy. A mother’s memoir of Autism and Finding Joy.   In this episode, we talk about:

  • Hitting that emotional and physical bottom, 
  • Grief and unpacking our emotions, 
  • Why we hate playgrounds, and 
  • Kate's advice on how to navigate the great chasm between diagnosis and joy


Kate writes and talks with a natural ease so I know you'll enjoy our time together.
