Unpacking Autism Ep.2: From culture clash to shared experiences: the importance of a support network

This week, Reena is in conversation with the CEO of Special Needs Community, Olivia King-Boateng, whose son was born with Down’s syndrome and later also diagnosed with autism as a result of her intervention. Generous and inspirational, she used the knowledge she gained from professionals in the first years of her son’s life to help other parents struggling with their own children’s special needs, culminating in the foundation of Special Needs Community, of which she is CEO. Join Reena and Olivia as they discuss the pressure on relationships that an SEN diagnosis can have, how different cultural understandings can cause conflict, and how you need to learn as much as you can to become the best advocate for your child.
