Does this sound familiar? Your child "keeps it together" during school hours...and then when arriving home for the day they fall apart emotionally and energetically.

On this episode, we have guest Tara Marshall, an autistic adult and speech language assistant. She shares her experiences with masking and how to advocate for their support within school walls as well as when they come home.
