A mothers insight to raising an autistic child and how it inspired her to develop an Autism support network for parents, Help You Cope.

Driven by her youngest son’s autism diagnosis, Joline is on a mission to eliminate the isolation often felt by caregivers. She wholeheartedly believes in providing compassionate support and essential resources to caregivers, understanding the profound importance of well-being and health throughout their caregiving journey. Despite being a business owner, her true passion lies in helping others, making it the most cherished and fulfilling aspect of her life. Her son Jesse, an adorable & cheeky 8 yr old who was diagnosed with autism level 3 at age of 18 mths. He loves being outdoors, climbing, and playing water activities. He is nonverbal and requires a lot of support with daily living skills but has come such a long way since his diagnosis, thanks to therapies & attending school. Joline and I connected over 7 years ago and remain close friends. I was honoured to share her story.
