Two Sons, Two Different Journeys: Parenting Through Autism & Neurofibromatosis Type 1

What is it like to raise a blended family of eight children while navigating very different parenting journeys? In this episode, I sit down with an incredible mom who shares her family's story. Two of her young adult sons have followed very different paths—one has autism, and another has Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and was diagnosed with ophthalmic tumors as a young child, leading to significant medical and physical challenges. We talk about building a blended family, advocating for children with different needs, balancing the demands of a large family, and finding hope through life's unexpected turns.
