In today's episode, you will meet Amy from the east coast in New Jersey. She went through 38 fertility treatments and had five losses along the way. She has three children and her 7-year-old is on the spectrum and has been diagnosed with ADHD. It started when she noticed that typically an infant sleeps at least 17 hours but her 2-year-old kid only sleeps between 8 hours. The kid's tantrum can last up to an hour. She is a therapist herself and knows her way around the situation most of the time. Now her kid's diagnosis changed the way she looks at raising kids in special way.
"There's no right way to do the wrong thing."

Do you still feel surreal as parents of kids with special needs?
This show is for parents who are mourning the loss of the life and the child they thought they would have. This show is for parents who are tired, lonely, and see no hope in sight.
You will learn how to deal with your non-verbal child with a sensory processing disorder, seizures, meltdowns, haircuts, and family trips. Embark on a journey of consciousness, self-care & meditation.
My name is Chad Ratliffe. I am a single father of five kids within 6 years of age and two of them are with special needs. 5 years ago, in a nasty divorce, my depression led me to addiction and hopelessness. Today, I share with others a life I never imagined possible.
