Summary
Join Anna Kennedy and two inspiring mothers from Autism Anglia as they share powerful stories of navigating autism diagnosis and career development after a successful Autism’s Got Talent showcase at the Apple Store in Covent Garden. Jenny and Annie, both parents of children on the autism spectrum, reveal the challenges they faced getting their children diagnosed – some waiting until ages 9 and 10, while others received diagnosis as early as 5. These remarkable women have transformed their personal experiences into professional expertise, now working as senior advisors helping other families in crisis. From a daughter breaking barriers as the only girl in a construction plastering course to a son pursuing his calling as a Benedictine monk despite autism and learning disabilities, these stories showcase the incredible potential within the autism community when proper support is provided.
