Heidi Rome: How Her Son With High-Need Autism Taught Her To Love

We all know the phrase "we make plans and God laughs." How many times in our lives have we had a plan or a path that got blocked, changed, or had to be shifted? When this happens, we have a choice to make. We can continue struggling and trying to fix the problem endlessly, or surrender, give love and light to the situation, and create a new normal. Heidi Rome has experienced this in her life first hand. When her autistic son was eleven, he participated in guided communication therapy in which he described via typing his own experience of autism as a spiritual journey. "God is in my heart and will always protect me." This encounter soothed Heidi's oil and transformed her attitude out of a suffering state and a more peaceful purpose. The book's title is from the last line of that conversation and conveys a simple and not always easy golden rule for all parents who struggle in the face of their children's challenges, special needs or not. In this episode, along with Heidi, we meet Debby, the mom of a child with Angelman’s syndrome. Also nonverbal, we will hear about Debby's experience communicating with her son and his profound positive effect on others.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How » Join the Grateful Goddesses Community today: gratefulgoddesses.com Twitter Instagram Facebook YouTube Learn more about your ad choices.
