9: Ebony Gilbert: The Long Road To Acceptance

In this episode, I’m joined by Ebony Gilbert talking about her journey as mum to George, who is blind, has autism and also brain damage from a stroke at birth. We talk about the struggle of true acceptance and what you have to let go of to get there, the joy of finding your own path that works for you and your family, and the challenges of communication without being able to use visual aids. Ebony also shares some great tools to help regulate yourself when things get tough, and the life-changing impact of dietary changes on George’s autism.Tags: blindness, autism, stroke, brain damage, communication, special needs, diet, neurodiversity
