I want to start a not so normal campaign, right, because what does that even mean? And I know it sounds silly, but those those are the kids where the change is going to happen, right?
What does it mean to raise a child who sees the world differently? In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Chrissy Sadowski, the regional fund and volunteer coordinator for Autism Ontario South Region, to discuss the highs and lows of parenting a non-verbal autistic child. Chrissy opens up about her 11-year-old son Darius, who doesn’t speak or understand simple tasks.
She shares the daily challenges her family faces, from navigating social interactions to managing the extra care Darius requires. Chrissy’s candid reflections offer a raw look into the complexities of autism, but also highlight the incredible love and resilience that come with it. This episode isn’t just about the struggles; it’s also about advocacy and breaking down the stigma surrounding neurodiversity.
Chrissy’s passion for creating change shines through as she talks about her work with Autism Ontario and her own coaching business. She believes in the power of empathy and understanding, urging listeners to see beyond the labels and embrace the unique perspectives of those on the autism spectrum. If you’re a parent, caregiver, or simply someone who wants to learn more about autism, this conversation is both enlightening and deeply moving.
