“Everything you always wanted to know about having a child with autism and intellectual disability but were afraid to ask.”
That’s the title of the Instagram Live I’ll be doing Tuesday, August 9 (that’s tomorrow!) at 6:30 pm EST.
My 28-yr-old son (Diego) is autistic and intellectually disabled, as you may know if you follow my little publication. I’m also a special education teacher. I’ve seen and experienced a lot!
Below is the link to my Instagram account. Hope you tune in! Feel free to let me know your questions in advance by responding.
With love,
Daniella

Daniella
