I am stoked to talk to Colette Philcox today – not only an individual on the spectrum, but the daughter of Brian Philcox and Bonnie Buxton – and the inspiration for Bonnie’s book: Damaged Angels. Colette is a mother of two – one on the spectrum, is an advocate and holds down a job in the film industry.
Colette story will inspire hope in individuals and caregivers. Adopted at 4, she was on the streets and addicted to crack by her mid-teens. Now 40, you will be as captivated by her candor, honesty and insights on:
Living life on the street (she estimates 85% on the streets are on the Spectrum) and the constant connection her parents kept with her.
We wrap up with her advice for individuals and caregivers. And it isn’t telling your child: “You could do better. People, in general will always try their best, this is where expectations and reality clash.”
I have watched Colette grow and mature. Colette is a great example of what can be accomplished through love, sticking it out and sheer tenacity of will.
