About this listen

"And I thought, wow, this kid's really smart. Like, but I didn't, I didn't know about the fixation pieces and I didn't know about it"

In this week's "The Focus", we're joined by Stacy Berg Jackson as we delve into the sometimes overwhelming but rewarding journey of parenthood. After taking her son to get tested for gifted IQ, they received their son's diagnosis of being on the Autism Spectrum, with Aspergers.

This not only created more context to his behaviours but a greater understanding of how he can happily and successfully navigate life with his interests. If you are a parent, take note of your observations and you might just be looking at their superpower.

What you will learn: 

  • The Journey of Acceptance, and knowledge, patience, love 
  • Unlocking the social cues of life
  • To share or not to share the diagnosis 


The Focus: The Focus episodes welcome experts from the Neurodiversity space to share the latest facts, findings and research. It's time to cut through the noise and know what's what.


#PowerWithinYou is a raw, honest podcast fronted by Mamta Gera, a dedicated coach on a mission to share stories, and resources and support your mental health journey to find the power within you.
