0:00.0	Hello, everybody. It's Reed Tracy. Welcome back to the You Can Hear Your Life podcast.
0:14.3	Today's guest is Mary Barbera. She has written a book called Turn Autism Around and Action Guide
0:22.4	for Parents of Young Children with Early Signs of Autism. So, hi, Mary. How are you?
0:29.5	Hey, Reed. Thanks for having me on. I'm really excited about this.
0:33.0	Yeah, I am too. It's a great book. It's a little different topic than we normally talk about here
0:39.9	on the podcast, but I know it's going to be super helpful for mothers with young children.

1:58.1	I kind of saw stars like, what are you talking about? Like I had never thought anything was wrong,
2:06.0	you know, and I had just had my second son, Spencer. So at that point, I had a newborn,
2:11.9	21, 21 month old. And I thought everything was going as well as normal. You know, to have two
2:20.9	kids that was winter time, you know, we were stuck inside a lot. And so Lucas was watching a lot of
