She shares her personal journey as an autistic woman and mother of an autistic child, revealing how hyper-empathy and misunderstood behaviors have shaped her life.This episode lays the foundation for a powerful series that will explore heartbreaking cases of abuse, neglect, and systemic failures affecting children and adults on the spectrum — especially those who cannot speak for themselves.Together, we’ll uncover why education about autism, ADHD, and neurodivergence is essential, not only for awareness but for justice.Disclosure & Disclaimer • Disclosure: All cases and topics discussed in this series are based on thorough research and reporting, with a focus on advocacy and awareness. • Disclaimer: This episode contains discussions of abuse and homicide involving autistic individuals.
