When the Support You Need Doesn't Exist: Karina McHardy on Autism, ASD
About this episode
Karina McHardy shares her personal journey advocating for her son's autism needs and discusses the challenges faced by parents in similar situations.
Karina McHardy shares a personal story but one that will resonate with any parent who has had to advocate for their child's needs, whether it be additional assistance or learning needs in school. Karina shares the story of her son's autism diagnosis and the overwhelming silence she felt which followed. With no roadmap for support, Karina has fought for personalised support and questioned when there has been obstacles. She has written about her experience in a book called 'All In' which she has just launched ahead of World Autism Awareness Day. Karina also shares why the phrase 'everyone is on the spectrum' is something we should reconsider. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
