This week we have a really incredible guest...Allyson is a special needs mom that really encompasses what it means to give her all. She shares her journey about how she navigated a new marriage, then entering into the global pandemic of covid and then having her first child. When her son was born, she knew something was different because he wasn't content unless he was "moving". Without anything to go on and world that was shut down, she educated herself and helped her son. Not to far into her journey she finds out that her son is Neurodiverse. As a master at masking, her son is a wonderful reminder, that each child with Autism is unique. She is a beautiful, smart, strong and resourceful mom willing to stop at nothing to help children.
