4. Just Keep Swimming-Tamara Lloyds journey with son Kai and his high functioning Autism.

October 28, 2024 • Lisa McKelvey • Season 1 • Episode 4

Tamara Lloyd, together with her husband Jono are raising 3 beautiful children. Life definitely has its challenges with their eldest Kai (13 yo) having high functioning autism.

Kai is non verbal, and in her 13 years of raising Kai, Tamara has never heard him say the words I love you. Only a handful of times has she heard him say the name "mum". Yet their bond is so so special.

Tamara chats with host, Lisa McKelvey about raising Kai, family life in Goondiwindi QLD and all things autism.
