I think what I find when I have spoken to you in the past is that you're not judgmental on yourself. Or even, you know, putting something together. So, like having this talk with you, I probably wouldn't have slept A Couple Of Nights A Couple Of Years Ago, but I've just felt sick in the stomach for the last two hours.
Amanda's life took an unexpected turn when her son was diagnosed with autism. In this episode of 'Life Changes YOU', host Daniel sits down with Amanda to explore her personal and professional journey in the disability field. Amanda opens up about the hurdles she faced in securing quality care for her son and how the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) became a beacon of hope for her family.
She doesn't shy away from discussing the strain the diagnosis put on her marriage, sharing candidly how they navigated those turbulent waters together. Amanda also reflects on the unique challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and how she helped her son adapt to the new normal. Throughout their conversation, she emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and encourages children with autism to follow their passions without fear of judgment.
This episode is a heartfelt narrative that sheds light on the evolving support for autism and offers a glimpse into the resilience required to thrive amidst adversity. Tune in for a story that’s as inspiring as it is enlightening, perfect for anyone looking to understand more about living with disabilities.
