Episode description

Today I’m talking to Amber Arrington.  She’s the mom of 6 and 3 of her children are autistic.  She started Autism Savvy to support other parents whose children were recently diagnosed or awaiting a diagnosis.  I loved hearing Amber’s story and her insights when it comes to navigating a new autism diagnosis.  Whether you are a parent or an educator, this episode is a must listen!

Topics Discussed:

• Navigating the autism diagnosis

• Talking to parents about autism for the first time

• Communication between classroom and home

Amber Arrington is a mother to 6 children, 3 of whom are autistic.

Autism was once a word she feared and has become a word she loves. Now she helps parents navigate an autism diagnosis and the autism landscape as a whole. She educates moms about available services and connects them with appropriate services and professionals.

Amber helps parents become "autism savvy" so they can know the best next steps to take for their child.
