In this week's episode of The Playful Psychologist, I interview my mum, Randa Habelrih, who also happens to be the mother of a young man with autism. This episode aims to show parents of children with disabilities that they are NOT alone in their journeys, but also aims to highlight the impact of poor social opportunities on individuals on the autism spectrum.
In this episode, Randa answers the following questions:
- How did your journey of advocating for your son begin?
- What did you find were the most difficult hurdles when fighting for inclusion?
- What made you take matters into your own hands and how did you do it?
- What is 'Timmy' the turtle' and how did this come about?
