Raising a neurodiverse child comes with a unique set of challenges. Today, I talk to Julie Falcone, author of “Dear Loved Ones" An Honest Guide to Helping the Special Needs Family You Love, and mother of four. Julie gives an insider’s view into the family life of a family with not one, but three neurodiverse children. We talk about raising kids with invisible special needs and how to find the support you need.
