TW; mention of ABA Join my guest Jacki Edry today as she shares about her book, “Moving Forward:Reflections on Autism, Neurodiversity, Brain Surgery and Faith” We discuss how she began her first education/school experience working with autistic children, her insights and discoveries about the sensory system, how stimming is NOT a “behavior” that needs to be stopped or modified when it is a help to the person and so much more. Join me LIVE with last week’s guest, Tammy Cho, for a deeper discussion around self discovery.  We had so many listeners love last week’s conversation and have been asking for more of Tammy. Tune in on YouTube Monday, February 20th at 3pm Eastern Time US: https://www.youtube.com/live/TP83r7eMwU8?feature=share Help your friend who is just starting their autism journey and share the show with them too.  We all need a helping hand and a friend looking out for us.  Be that friend.
