Janet and Jenny: A family journey through Autism | 116

This week, we welcome in Janet and Jenny, a mother and daughter. During this episode, we will discuss Jenny’s diagnosis of autism, how her mother, Janet, struggled to find help and resources, the challenges they both faced as Jenny was growing up, and their shared journey to thriving. Janey and Jenny have written a book together, and Jenny has also written two books of her own (with more to come!). Please join us for this episode as we discuss the story of these two amazing people!
