124: What Do Special Needs Parents Want Us To Know?

Jen Tipton is a mom of 3 who found a passion for special needs inclusion after her son was diagnosed with a chromosomal abnormality and non-speaking autism. In this episode, she shares candidly about what it's like to parent neuro-divergent children, what she wishes parents of neuro-typical children knew, and how we can all improve inclusivity for humans with special needs. This quick episode is a must-listen whether you're a parent or not because Jen offers such valuable insight about how to build longer tables for people who interact with the world differently than we do.

Some resources Jen recommends:

For a look into the lives of non-speaking autistic boys, you can follow @peace_love_autism, @lovehopeandautism, @theautismcafe, and @findingcoopersvoice on Instagram.
"SPELLERS" is an award-winning documentary that challenges everything we thought we knew about those with non-speaking autism. Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOk6pBnY7hQ
