Hi, I'm Betsy Hicks-Russ, and I'm the mother of Joe, who's 32 years old.
We live in the state of Washington, and we have a lot of fun being very, very active, cycling, hiking, and we bring the world around with us as we do it.
H, I, and get there, get there, K. I know.
There you go.
And is that it?
Yeah, that's it.
There we go.
We're excited to have you here.
There we go.
There's a lot of enthusiasm in that.
I'd love to do the backstory because it's really interesting how it all unfolded.
So Joe's 32 and I was in the autism industry through my late husband who was a pediatrician and so we worked with a lot of autism and I did that for 16 years.
He passed away 10 years ago and I really thought I knew all there was to know and I had resigned.
You know, he's not in there.
I'm never going to communicate with him.
He doesn't understand.
And how old was Joe when you were feeling that way?
We're talking sadly like three years ago.
We're not talking a long time ago.
