This podcast comes to you from a very tired, slightly slap happy and eternally hopeful warrior mom of a young adult son with severe, non-verbal autism. My hope is to bring together parents of special needs children and professionals so we may share stories and experience to build a worldwide village of support for one another. Living the Sky Life offers a personal connection and understanding from those who have likely walked in your shoes.
