Tell Me Your Story | Parenting and Autism Panel: A Journey for Support and Awareness
April 2, 2025
11:30 am - 1:00 pm

What do we know about Autism? What do we know about the spectrum related to Autism diagnoses? How does society, family and close friends react to their experience with an autistic person?
These are some of the questions that we will explore in Tell Me Your Story: Special Edition Panel, where we talk about Parenting and Autism. We will have input from Ellen Shapiro-Smith, Melissa Maher, Melissa Minaya and Allison Patenaude who will be telling us about their personal experiences with Autism as a parent.
We will learn from each guest about their journey, from searching for the diagnose, learning about correct treatment, reactions from relatives and close friends and acquiring appropriate school settings for their children. They also share their unique experience adjusting to their children’s place in the Autism broad spectrum as well as monitoring their challenges and progress.
This event is for HLS Staff.
