A Year in Interviews- A Mother Talks About the First Year After Her Son's Autism Diagnosis

Published 2024-07-19
Welcome to Across the Spectrum. We have been filming 9 kids from Arizona and Massachusetts. We started following them shortly after diagnoses and will be following them up through adulthood.

When my son was first diagnosed autistic I didn't know anything about it. I decided to film myself navigating through this unknown world.

My son was diagnosed almost 10 years ago and i think I've grown more than my son.

I've put a video together of some of the interviews I did the first year, Some of this, I would not say now but I want to share with other parents that it is okay to be sad or upset, you just need to grieve a little then get up and help your child. They will grow and surprise you!

You can follow all the kids on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/atsthedoc
