The Pharmacist’s Voice

I have a 21-year-old son named Kraig who was diagnosed with autism in the year 2005, at the age of 2.5.  His diagnosis changed my life and my career path, so we’re talking about autism today.  After I share some background information, I “dispense” 10 lessons I learned from raising a child with autism.  
 
Create a vision for your child’s future.   Keep an open mind.  Think ability first.  Embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.   Don’t underestimate the ordinary. Discover your “gifts of autism.” Take care of yourself. Embrace disruption.  Be a leader. Save what you love.

This is not my typical kind of episode, but this is also not the first episode I’ve published about autism. If you’d like to listen to the other two, they are episodes 213 (2023) and 147 (2022).
 
I created this episode for pharmacy professionals in America raising a child with autism because I’m an American pharmacist raising a child with autism.  You can read about stats and definitions online, but to find out how autism impacts a pharmacist Mom or a family, you should be listening to people like me. If you’re raising a child with autism, you will be able to relate even if you’re not a pharmacy professional. I wish someone would have shared their stores with me in 2005 when my son was diagnosed.
