More Than a Diagnosis: Sonny’s Story

More Than a Diagnosis: Sonny’s Story

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, I’m sharing something deeply personal — our journey with my son, Sonny. From the first signs we noticed… to the moment we got answers… to stepping into therapies and learning how to support him in the ways he needs most — this episode is a raw and honest look at what autism has looked like in our family. I talk about the emotions that came with his diagnosis, the fears I had as a mom, and how this journey has changed me in ways I never expected. But more than anything, this is a story about love, growth, and learning to see the world through Sonny’s eyes. Because he is so much more than a diagnosis. If you’re a parent navigating something similar, or someone who wants to better understand autism — this episode is for you 🤍
