"I'm loving the information I'm gathering, even though it's really hard." Today's episode is with Emily, and I just LOVE her insight and vulnerability! Ever heard of the "Spoon Theory"? Be sure to listen in on this one!

In this episode, we talk about:

The anxiety of *not knowing* when the other shoe will drop
The stress of continuous medical issues: Asthma, pneumonia, cleft
When the medical issues turned into behavioral challenges
Getting the diagnosis: Level 1 ASD with PDA profile
How she plans out her son's day using the "Spoon Theory"
How she uses curiosity and her desire to learn to help herself get through hard times
The grief component to not being able to take your kid to do certain things
Co-regulation - exhausting. Worthwhile, but exhausting.
How she uses her background as a pediatric OT to understand her child
