ETB 12: Perinatal Stroke, Infantile Spasms & Subsequent Autism Diagnosis with Laura Tayerle

Embrace the Blessing

In this episode I talk with Laura Tayerle, the very first special needs mom I met many years ago when her daughter Morgan was just 5 years old. Laura inspired me in so many ways long before my own special needs child was ever born. She was the mom who modeled how to be a voice for your child, how to treat them just like anyone else and how to juggle it all with strength and determination.
Laura discusses Morgan's early years and what life was like for a young mom in a new town navigating the complexities of an unexpected diagnosis. She walks us through the joys and challenges of raising Morgan, who is now 32 years old, along with her 2 younger sisters and discusses the successful transition Morgan has made in living away from home with a support staff to assist her.
