About this listen

In the scorching summer of 1989, my second child, a son, entered the world, setting in motion a life-altering journey. Just four months later, a virus thrust him into a hospital, casting an uncertain shadow on our future.

As a mother, an unshakable instinct warned me of the virus’s aftermath. What unfolded defied expectations, testing my love, courage, determination, and resolve to protect my son labelled “autistic.” A pediatrician's callous advice to put him in a home fueled my determination; I refused to give up. Knowing nothing about autism, I embarked on an arduous journey to uncover ways to give my son the best life possible. Love and determination took a toll—emotionally, physically, and financially. My relationship crumbled, and I navigated single parenthood.

Yet, today, when I see my son — caring, confident, and remarkably talented — I know every sacrifice was worthwhile. This is my extraordinary journey — a testament to the unwavering strength of a mother’s love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the triumphant power of hope. Join me, and witness the remarkable transformation of a young boy into an exceptional young man.
