In today\u2019s episode, we chat with Katie. Mother to three, Katie has led the charge in her province of Saskatchewan, Canada to connect families with children on the Autism Spectrum with resources and support. In this two-part series, Katie dives deep into her family's journey reflecting on the time her son Avery was diagnosed with &quot;bad parenting&quot; to today where her family navigates&amp;nbsp;a new season of change for Avery and his severe non-verbal&amp;nbsp;Autism diagnosis. In this&amp;nbsp;second part, Katie focuses&amp;nbsp;on how Avery's younger siblings advocate and care for Avery and how going up in an inclusive household has naturally taught them to be kind and genuinely friendly to other children of all abilities. Katie also shares how taking care of yourself is important and the impact it has made on her life and marriage.&amp;nbsp;Katie also opens up about the challenges that have come from opening&amp;nbsp;their life&amp;nbsp;up to others on social media and how she deals with negative opinions.
