She shares a number of valuable resources for parents who are beginning the same journey as well as innate wisdom that only a mother's love can attain. These resources are helpful for other parents on the spectrum: https://www.autismspeaks.org/https://paautism.org/- Local PA Autism resourcehttps://autismnavigator.com/- A really useful resource that provides videos and examples of what young toddlers on the spectrum look like behaviorally and signs professionals look out forhttps://marybarbera.com/new-book/?wickedsource=google&wickedid=CjwKCAjwjuqDBhAGEiwAdX2cj025GyqYetHbmp4-2BKTlm73het26JPukwugPxqP5NS7xcGn6qjn3RoCIDEQAvD_BwE&wv=3&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=10197486444&gclid=CjwKCAjwjuqDBhAGEiwAdX2cj025GyqYetHbmp4-2BKTlm73het26JPukwugPxqP5NS7xcGn6qjn3RoCIDEQAvD_BwE-  A great book that just came out about navigating difficulties in young children with Autismhttps://www.chop.edu/health-resources/early-intervention-agency-pennsylvania- Local*Theme Music "Blessed Time" by Ketsa
