SHOWNOTES

When a child is diagnosed with profound autism, life changes instantly. In this powerful episode of Sh!t Happy, Fijian lawyer and HR leader Patricia Naisara shares her family’s lived experience of raising a neurodivergent child in a system with almost no support. This is an honest conversation about parenting, mental health, wellbeing, marriage under pressure, advocacy, and learning to live with uncertainty while still choosing joy, humour and compassion. A deeply human episode for parents, carers, leaders and anyone navigating autism or unexpected life challenges.
