When Barclay was first diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder I was overwhelmed. Not only did I know nothing about autism, but I also didn’t know one parent who had a child with autism. I began to search online for help. Almost immediately I came across Rob Gorski’s website, The Autism Dad. I began to read his posts and listen to his podcast and felt a connection. On his podcast, he shares his life experiences with three children with autism and interviews with other autism parents as well as experts in the field.
I had the pleasure of featuring him on my podcast a few months back and most recently was a guest on his. I will post the links to both interviews below.
Thanks, Rob!
Parent to Parent (feat. Amy Nielsen) S3E29 – The Autism Dad Podcast
In this weeks episode, I have a parent to parent conversation with Amy Nielsen. She’s an autism mom, author, educator, blogger, podcaster and early intervention specialist. We talk about her amazing family, life as an autism parent and how COVID has made things more challenging. We also talk about how her and her husband are navigating the new school year.
It’s a great conversation and one you can definitely relate to. 🙂
About Amy:
Amy is a former educator with seventeen years experience. Her educational background includes teaching second grade, elementary media specialist, middle school television production teacher and middle school media specialist.
After her fourth child was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, she left her full-time teaching career so she would have the flexibility to meet the demands of this special parenting role.
Amy runs theParent Advocate and Early Intervention Specialist at Collaborative Corner for Exceptional Children. (https://www.collaborativecorner.org/)
About Me:
Please remember that self-care is more important than ever. It’s not easy but we have to do our best to look after ourselves, especially during these turbulent and uncertain times.
Please listen and share with anyone that could benefit.
