Oh! So It’s Autism!

Summary

This podcast is a fun and thoughtful initiative that we hope will support others as we share our collective years of experience and knowledge. This project is a means to pay it forward to other families as they begin their journey. It is hosted by Alison Saraf, an Autism mom, and also features other awesome Autism moms Hasna, Moira, Suzana, Reen, Maha, Karina, Huma and Raana, our techie. The episode includes everyone sharing their own unique experiences of how their story unfolded when they realized their child is on the Autism spectrum and how that affected them and their lives as women, mothers, and professionals. Strap in, grab some tissues, sometimes you’ll cry from empathy and other times from laughter. Join us on our journey of This Life.
