We are 6 Sports Neuropsychologists from across the US who tackle the flashy, and sometimes misleading headlines about youth sports, health, and safety in our efforts to educate the public, and to advocate. We talk among ourselves and with other experts, with infusions of science, common sense, humor, and our own experiences as working parents. We are working professionals, not professional influencers. Real science. Real moms. Real life.

E6. Parenthood, love, invisible disabilities, and finding community with Kate Swenson

We're delighted to be joined by Kate Swenson, fellow hockey mom and founder of Finding Cooper's Voice, an online and in-person community where families of children with disabilities can come together to celebrate, laugh, cry, learn and get support.

With over a million followers Kate's goal is to normalize the stigmas surrounding having a member of the family with a disability and what she refers to as a "secret world." Her book, Forever Boy, A Mother's Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy was published in 2022 and quickly became a national bestseller. Kate, her husband, and four kids, live in Minnesota.

This isn't just about Autism, but for all of us.
