Summary
Danielle had the incredible pleasure of sitting down with her 15-year-old daughter, Mia, and Mia's hero, Autism advocate and wildly popular influencer, Chloe Hayden. Chloe and Mia talk about their own journeys with getting evaluated for Autism, what a diagnosis means to them, how the neurodivergent community wants to and deserves to be treated, why Autism is actually beautiful and powerful, and so much more. Not only is this conversation completely empowering, but it's informative and will make so many people feel seen and heard. They discuss terms like stimming, masking special interests, and how much information is lacking concerning how Autism affects girls. Share this episode with anyone whom you think would love to hear these young women (and one mom) discuss this topic in a way that is totally empowering.
