In this heartfelt episode of Shining Through: Inspiring Voices of Autism, Sarah opens up about her son Ben’s journey from a non-verbal toddler to a thriving 20-year-old college student living independently. Diagnosed with autism between the ages of two and three, Ben’s early years were filled with questions, therapies, and determination. Sarah reflects on the tough decisions, the power of a "mommy gut," and how interventions like ABA and speech therapy transformed not only Ben’s life but their entire family dynamic. Whether you're a parent, educator, or advocate, this episode will leave you encouraged and reminded that the path may be tough—but it’s absolutely possible.
