Today’s guest has been highly requested by many of my listeners, and I’ve been trying to get her on the show for over a year now. That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to Kate Swenson, an autism mother to three boys; an author; and owner of the popular blog, Finding Cooper's Voice.

Kate’s first-born son, Cooper, was diagnosed with severe nonverbal autism. There was a long time when Kate thought that something wasn't typical with his development, but she brushed off autism because his symptoms were inconsistent with what she read online. For example, he was nonverbal but he pointed and waved, and it appeared that he played with toys. It wasn’t until he got older that Kate realized it was autism.

We cover a lot of important topics in this interview, but one especially important topic is the decision to have another child after already having a child with autism. Kate perfectly describes the fear that comes with deciding to have another child, as well as the hope. Looking back, Kate swears that her third son saved her family and brought them closer than ever.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.
