In today's episode, you will meet Nathalie. Her child was diagnosed on autism spectrum at the age of 2. As all other parents, it was something she and her husband were least expecting. They do not have clue what is autism nor how to support their son. She wasn't coping well in the beginning and battled with feelings of shame and blame for too long. She drowned her sorrow with negative self-talk and alcohol to numb the pain. Today, she talks about how our light as parents shines the path for our kids with special needs.

Do you still feel surreal as parents of kids with special needs?
This show is for parents who are mourning the loss of the life and the child they thought they would have. This show is for parents who are tired, lonely, and see no hope in sight.
You will learn how to deal with your non-verbal child with a sensory processing disorder, seizures, meltdowns, haircuts, and family trips. Embark on a journey of consciousness, self-care & meditation.
My name is Chad Ratliffe. I am a single father of five kids within 6 years of age and two of them are with special needs. 5 years ago, in a nasty divorce, my depression led me to addiction and hopelessness. Today, I share with others a life I never imagined possible.
