About

This podcast comes to you from a very tired, slightly slap happy and eternally hopefully autism warrior mom of a teenage son on the severe end of the spectrum. My hope is to bring together parents of special needs children and professionals so we may share stories and experience to build a worldwide village of support for one another. Living the Sky Life offers a personal connection and understanding from those who have likely walked in your shoes.
