30 Years of Raising a Child with Autism with Liat's Mom: Melanie Sacks

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Liat brings on her mom, Melanie, for a raw convo about raising Liat’s brother who has autism and intellectual disabilities. They cover everything from public behavior incidents and Chuck E. Cheese trauma to marriage strain, group home fears, and the chaos of parenting before insurance-covered ABA and Facebook support groups even existed. Melanie opens up about the lifelong commitment and all the emotions that come with raising a child with ASD, and why he's been one of the greatest blessings of her life. This one will make you laugh, cry, call your mom, and maybe start filling out Medicaid waiver paperwork immediately.
