At a young age, Sara’s eldest son, Rocco, started to show symptoms of autism. Doctors informed her that he was “non-verbal” and may never interact in a normal comprehensible way. In this episode, Sara talks about her experience as a parent, how they overcame all the challenges that came with neurodiverse parenting, and all the life lessons she had learned even from her own children. She also talks about the documentary film created about her son entitled ‘Rocco Up’, which is a beautiful testimony to limitless family love and community support.

Sara has established a neurodiversity consultancy to help other parents with special needs children. She offers guidance for everyday scenarios, and also advises for the longer term, from cultivating a support system within the community to advocating with institutions and legislators.
