15. Surviving the Initial Trauma of an Autism Diagnosis Through Community with Kim Stewart

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Warrior Words podcast!

It's Autism Month! Whether you support Awareness or Acceptance - OR BOTH! - we are featuring autism stories in the month of April.

For today's episode, I got to speak with Kim Stewart, host of the Book Marketing Mania podcast and Autism Mama.

She shares about someone who stepped up when her son was newly diagnosed 20+ years ago. There were no podcasts and very few resources. While things have changed in the resource area today, Kim's experience sheds light on our continued need for community in all of our struggles.

Armor Up.

Fight the Good Fight.

Seek Beauty.

Make Your Words Warrior Words.
