Family Dynamics, with the Global Autism Community

Discover what’s possible when family comes first.  This week’s episode is a recording of one of our Global Autism Community exclusive events! The topic of this roundtable discussion was Family Dynamics. Participating in this event were Autistic Self-Advocates Mary Johnston and Corben Havener, as well as autism sibling and occupational therapist Cheryl Albright. In today’s conversation, we discuss: Parent-child relationships What it’s like to have neurodivergent or neurotypical parents  Why divorce rates are high among parents of autistic children Sibling relationships How to support adolescents transitioning into adulthood Choosing a life partner Starting your own family Taking care of aging parents The importance of creating plans for elder adulthood Roundtable discussions like the one you’ll hear today are open exclusively for members of our online Global Autism Community.
