Autism from Homeschool to Adulthood with Kristi Johnson
Our interview this week is with Kristi Johnson, happily married to her soul mate, best friend, and partner in crime. We chat about her oldest non-verbal autistic son is 19, middle son who is 17, and youngest son who is 16, and has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
She started homeschooling her kiddos at the end of 2015, after having issues with public school system. She describes homeschooling as the most rewarding, most challenging, and the biggest obstacle she has dealt with.
One her greatest goals in her life is to bring autism awareness to others.
Kristi gives us an amazing look into her homeschooling skills, what we should all be thinking about now instead of later regarding adult services, and how to be a fierce advocate for our babies.
Tips from Kristi: Don’t be afraid to ask that mom in the milk isle at Target how she is doing it.
Come hear her tips and tricks!
