How We...Special Needs
Welcome to How We... Special Needs, a podcast about navigating life with Special Needs and how it transforms families.
This podcast aims to share how we talk about Special Needs, how we live with Special Needs, and how Special Needs have changed our families.
I’m Minie, an Italian special needs mum living in Sydney, sharing my personal diary as I walk alongside my daughter’s journey with Kabuki Syndrome. But this podcast isn’t just about us - it’s about us.
Through heartfelt stories, interviews with other special needs parents, and honest conversations, we’ll explore the challenges, victories, and emotions that come with raising extraordinary children. Together, we’ll share the tears, the laughter, and the questions we might be too afraid to ask.
Whether you’re part of the special needs community or simply curious about this roller coaster called life, you’re welcome here. This podcast offers a raw, relatable, and unconventional window into the world of disabilities, genetic conditions, and medical families.
I aim to release new episodes weekly or fortnightly, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback along the way.
Let’s celebrate the love, strength, and stories that make this journey unforgettable. 💚
How We...Special Needs
A journey with Hirschsprung Disease and ASD | Interview with Mari Suzuki
In this podcast episode I interview Mari, an amazing mum - and Zumba instructor - who shares on socials Kai's (her son) journey with Hirschsprung Disease and ASD (autism).
The interview spans from the complexities of a bowel disease like Hirschsprung, to an episode of discrimination from a day care centre, the challenges that couples face when their child has very complex needs, and more.
Mari explains everything with such grace, patience and determination, but also lots of emotions while talking about Kai's incredible resilience.
