Description

During this episode Mona and Manecia have an in-depth conversation with Heidi who has been married for over 25 years and found out 5 years ago that her husband is on the autism spectrum.  After raising 4 kids together and having ongoing communication challenges, things started to make sense when Heidi learned about ASD.  Learn about how special interests played a big part in the beginning of this neurodiverse marriage and about the ups and downs of parenting, emotional and social differences and the way in which Heidi has dealt with all of these over the years.
