Autism Diagnosis: What No One Tells You About Raising an Autistic Child

Nobody told me about the waitlists. Nobody told me about the insurance fights. Nobody told me about the grief that hits you after the diagnosis. After my son Major was diagnosed with autism, I had to learn everything from scratch. The therapies, the schools, the costs, the sleepless nights researching. All of it. My friend and Emmy award-winning journalist Tabnie Dozier sat down with me for an honest conversation about what raising an autistic child really looks like behind the scenes. If you are an autism parent or you love one, this one is for you.
