16. Lilly Gives Hope: Diagnosed with Autism at 15 Month Old Being Told She Will Never Speak Again to Interviewing Her

In this episode of Obsessed or Not Interested Podcast, I am taking you back and sharing from the beginning of Lilly’s autism diagnosis. I talk about when I saw a significant shift in her personality, the concerns I had noticed, feeling hopeless momentarily, advocating for Lilly along the way, following my mom gut, and ending with an exclusive interview with Miss Lilly Ann Wender. 

 

If you're out there listening and this is hitting close to home, I'm sending you a big virtual hug. I'd be over the moon if you shared this podcast to help other parents who are on this same wild ride. And just before we wrap up, I want to leave you with this super sweet moment between me and my girl Lilly, because it's those moments that remind us of the amazing connection we have. Thanks for tuning in, and remember, you're not alone on this journey.
