We are pleased to share this podcast, which is a being brought to you by the Autism Programs at the UNM Center for Development and Disability; it is funded by the New Mexico Department of Health and is committed to supporting autism communities all across New Mexico. Debbie Montana, our facilitator, and the panel, Jennifer Sanchez, Nicole Tenny and Lynette Torivio share a heartfelt discussion about their personal experiences and things they wish they knew when their children were diagnosed with autism. Listen to their compassionate discussion of shared memories when facing new challenges, which gives us a sense of permission to feel what we feel.
