Budding Self-Advocacy

In this episode, we speak to a mom-daughter duo by the names of Kendra and Maria, respectively. Kendra is the mother of two autistic children, a boy and a girl and a friend of the family. She and her family are referenced back in Season 1, Episode 6 in the episode titled, "It Takes a (Wisconsin) Village". Kendra and Maria, her then 12 year old daughter, talk about their family's autism journey. Maria talks to me about what it was like to read her original diagnostic report, what growing up in the skin she is in and with the brain that she has is like. Her wisdom reaches far beyond her current age; she is a budding self-advocate and is sure to be a strong voice in her community for years to come.
