Join Anna Kennedy on Women’s Radio Station as she explores the multigenerational impact of autism with Dawn Asifer, a remarkable woman who has navigated the autism journey as both a mother and grandmother. Dawn shares her experience raising Hannah, who went from being nonverbal to singing entire Disney songs, and how her journey led her to become a manager at a carers charity and radio presenter. The conversation delves into the unique challenges faced by three generations of her family on the autism spectrum, including her two granddaughters who present with masking behaviors typical of autistic girls. From early diagnosis struggles 13 years ago to the ongoing battle for appropriate school support, Dawn provides invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of autism awareness and the crucial role grandparents play in supporting neurodiverse families.
