Welcome Kerri Wolcott to The Talking Story Podcast. Kerri is a busy lady as a wife, mom of 3, business woman, consultant and friend to many. Although she could talk on many different subjects, she comes to the proverbial table to talk about raising a child with special needs. Grant, her middle child now 18 years old, was diagnosed with Autism as a young kid. Kids with autism and other disabilities often experience more anxiety and depression, which can bring challenges as a parent, community member and family. Not only does Kerri show up real talking about the difficulties of parenting a child with special needs. She brings hope and inspiration to keep going even when it is tough and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. What makes this conversation extra special, is that Kerri helps us, as friends and loved ones of family’s with neurodivergent children, understand what we can do to support and walk alongside. Eliminating the "walking on eggshells” feeling is our goal as we open the narrative of the joys and hardships of navigating the neurodivergent world.
