Heidi is the author of the book "You Just Have To Love Me" about her journey with her Autistic son. In this episode she talks about Ethan's diagnosis and early education. He was in a school that only used ABA therapy, so they secretly took him to other therapies for speech and OT. She also tried many other alternative therapies to try to "cure" his Autism, as many other parents did at the time. She then got an attorney and got him placed in a new school that offered many different communication devices and Facilitated Communication became a game changer for Ethan. Listen to the episode to find out what things Ethan began to say.
