Mental Health Monday: Autism, Neurodiversity, and Emotions

Deaconess Heidi Goehmann, LCSW, MSW, joins Andy and Sarah in our series on "Emotions and the Gospel" during Mental Health Awareness Month to talk about Autism, Neurodiversity, and Emotions, including what misconceptions we might have about Autism and Neurodiversity, what we need to know about how autism affects the senses, what Autism might look like and what it might feel like for the child experiencing it, the emotions parents might experience as they navigate having a child with Autism, and how parents can handle moments when they feel judged by other parents.
