A Houseful of Autism and ADHD (S6E46)

A hilarious and insightful conversation with Emmett, my 15 year old autistic son. We talk about how between the four of us, three are diagnosed with autism and three with ADHD. We share how different everyone is and that just because we may share a diagnosis, doesn’t mean we are all the same.
