Podcast: Transitioning our children with Autism into adulthood; a parent's perspective. Special Guest Dr Karen Glasby.
Karen wears so many hats when it comes to this topic. She is an academic, and an advocate for parents, but most importantly she is a mother of a young man with Autism. Karen, like many parent's, has been to hell and back with her son. Her family have watched helplessly as their son struggled with his adult independence, without the cognitive capacity to match this new life stage. As their son was an adult, he theoretically could make his own choices, but they as a family were left to pick up the pieces again and again.
Karen took her search for answers beyond her own front door, and into academia. Her research findings humble us even further. I will let her explain. Thank you immensely for your time Karen and for sharing your story and your wisdom. I truly appreciate the fire in your belly in trying to open everyone's eyes to this issue.
