Conversation with Wes - Part Two, Meeting Aurora

This is part two of Wes' journey and her daughter's first year on Earth. I'm so grateful to Wes for her courage and generosity in sharing her story. She and I both hope that raising awareness regarding autism in babies will help another mother feel less confused and alone in the world. If you missed the first episode, here's the link. Also, the sound quality is not great. I sound like I'm shouting into the mic and Wes sounds like she's on a walkman in 1985. We're working on finding a solution. In the meanwhile, here are links to the information we discuss at the end: Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 3: https://www.autismspeaks.org/levels-of-autism Global Development Delay Autosomal Dominant SRRM2:  https://www.alliancegenome.org/disease/DOID:0061045 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10445754/ Expressive Receptive Language Delay: https://www.research.chop.edu/car-autism-roadmap/language-disorders-in-children-on-the-autism-spectrum
