In this episode we are speaking with Kate who is a mum of 3. Her eldest child was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) early in life.
Kate describes her experiences the diagnosis in New Zealand, the struggle of acceptance, the lack of immediate support post-diagnosis, and her pursuit to ensure her daughter reaches her full potential.
We also explore how Kate juggles her many balls, including parenting her other children, living in an isolated farming area in NZ and running her own business DediKate.
The discussion also reveals the importance of validating feelings, seeking appropriate resources, and building supportive networks.
We give a shout out to the Isolated Children's Parents Association www.icpa.com.au
