Ep23: The Trials and Triumphs being a special needs parent. With Christa Silva.
Christa Silva joins us in Episode 23 to talk about her story of becoming a new mom and having no idea that her son was severely autistic. Christa does not hold back as she speaks about the early diagnosis for her son, the horrible opinions she received when pregnant with her second child, and the incredible support the community has given her and her family through it all. Christa and her husband started an event called “Light it up Blue” to raise money for different special needs resources throughout Maine. She went back to school and is now working as a Quality Compliance Specialist that supports adults with autism and IDD. You don’t want to miss this episode! I learned SO much within this one hour of chatting together and could not wait to share all of the knowledge and inspiration Christa has to offer.
