Summary

Many of you know that our youngest son was diagnosed with Autism last fall. I knew since he was very young that he was likely on the spectrum, but he continued to progress in his development so we never had him evaluated. Some significant changes happened in him about a year ago which led us to finally seek a diagnosis. Today I am sharing our journey with you along with some things I have learned over the last year that you may find helpful if you have a child that may be on the spectrum, have one on the spectrum, or know someone with a child on the spectrum, or want to learn more so you can have a better understanding. Resources mentioned in this episode: ctcmath.com The Unhurried Homeschooler Unhurried Grace for a Mom’s Heart The Four-Hour School Day Subscribe to my monthly email and receive a free digital download of Encouraging a Homeschooling Heart Places I am speaking in 2023 Classical Conversations Please note that the products and links to health products I have mentioned in the podcast and here are simply things that have helped us.

0:00.0	Hey, moms. I'm so glad you joined me today. Welcome to the Duranda Wilson podcast. I am
0:15.2	Dorenda married to Daryl for 33 years. We have eight kids. We have nine grandkids and we've been homeschooling for over
0:23.1	28 years. I'm also the author of three books, The Unhurried Homeschooler, a Simple, Mercifully
0:30.9	Short Book on Hom schooling, The Four-Hour-Hour-School Day, How You and Your Kids Can Thrive in the
0:36.4	homeschool life, an unhurried grace for a mom's
0:39.6	heart. 31 days in God's Word. That's a devotional that I wrote specifically for homeschooling
0:46.1	moms. I hope you'll check out those three books at Amazon or at my website, Duranda Wilson.com.
0:51.2	You can also find the four-hour school day at any of your favorite booksellers
0:56.0	in addition to the places that I mentioned. I also wanted to let you know that you can receive a
1:01.9	free digital download of my devotional encouraging a homeschool heart by subscribing to my
1:08.5	monthly newsletter. This devotional actually accompanies the four-hour school day.
1:14.7	So if you'd like to receive that for free, please subscribe to my monthly newsletter. I will include
1:20.5	a link in the show notes. Also, in 2023, I am speaking at several more events. I've done three so far, and I've got five more on the docket.

1:45.8	2024, now is the time to reach out to the leadership at your favorite conference and let them
1:52.4	know that you'd like me to be at their next event. I can even leave a link in the show notes
1:58.8	to make it easy for you to share with them and they can
2:01.8	find me and inquire and we can have that conversation because the truth is that the
2:08.2	conferences they they care more about what you think than what I think. I can tell them I want to
2:13.4	come but what they really care about is if their attendees want me to come. So that is the best way
2:18.8	to make that a possibility. I also speak at women's events. If you have an event that needs a speaker,
