Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review. This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you helpful

information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now let's get

started. Welcome, Keisha, to the Autism, ADHD podcast.

Thank you for having me.

I am so excited you're here.

I'm going to introduce you really quick.

Keisha Pruden is a self-proclaimed country girl.

I love that.

She lives in North Carolina with her husband, Paul, and their two sons, Aaron and Bryant.

Keisha is a licensed psychotherapist,

autism advocate, public speaker, blogger, and published author. Her passion lies in helping families create awesome villages for their autistic family members, providing academic

support to autistic children, their families, school staff, and other mental health

professionals through advocacy, professional development, and psychoeducation.

So you and I could talk about a hundred thing literally together right now.

And I love that you are a parent and a therapist. Yes. Yes, definitely. And I think

it really gives us as providers a different lens that we can truly support, you know, our clients

in a way where we are understanding what it is like to parent differently wired kids.

So you had mentioned that your boys are also differently wired.

Yes, my oldest son, Aaron, who is now 27, is on the autism spectrum.

And my youngest son Bryant, who's 18, and freshman in college has ADHD and I have ADHD myself.

So it's been quite a journey.

It has been, I bet.
