Angie Harrington is a Utah based mom of three, stepmom of three and co-star on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, who just publicly shared for the first time, the news of her youngest son, Hart’s autism diagnosis and how she hopes that bringing awareness to autism might just help other families going through a similar experience.

In addition to being a mother of a toddler with autism and two teenagers with ADHD, Angie also lives with
ADHD and anxiety herself and is no stranger to the world of neurodiversity. She has been proudly working with organizations and charities to help bring awareness and acceptance of autism and neurodiversity. Hart was diagnosed with autism this past fall and since then, Angie has been focusing on being a mother first and foremost and has stepped away from her role on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

As a woman with ADHD raising children with ADHD, Angie looks at the condition as a superpower, rather than a disability and intends to use her voice and platform to shine a light on being a parent of neurodivergent children.
