Join Anna Kennedy OBE for an inspiring New Year’s autism discussion as she shares the exciting news of her autistic son Patrick successfully completing his six-month probationary period at his first full-time job – a milestone that brings tears of joy as he declares he can now ‘contribute to society.’ This heartwarming radio show features guest Tali, who shares her seven-year journey fighting for proper education for her son with Fragile X syndrome, demonstrating the unwavering determination of autism parents who refuse to take ‘no’ for an answer. The episode showcases Anna Kennedy Online’s incredible Christmas events, including autism-friendly theatre performances and Santa visits, proving that inclusive experiences can bring pure magic to families affected by autism. Listeners will discover the upcoming autism expo at Brunel University, featuring amazing speakers like Alexandra Bester from Functional Foods and experts in PDA awareness, tutoring, and holistic approaches – all designed to give parents the choice and information they deserve rather than being told what they ‘can’ or ‘cannot’ do for their children.
