As a sibling to three autistic brothers, Ali Carbone has a heartwarming and inspiring story to share. Growing up in a family with unique dynamics, Ali opens up about the difficult decision her mother made to place her youngest brother in residential care at 11 years old and how this experience has shaped her identity. Join us in this enlightening conversation about the challenges and joys that come with being a sibling to autistic individuals.From confronting friends who use derogatory language to understanding her mother's emotional journey, we explore the power of language and the impact it has on our perspectives and relationships. Ali shares how her life has been lived for her brothers and how she found her own identity through writing a book that focuses on her experiences rather than solely on her brothers' autism.As Ali offers valuable insights and advice for those without autistic children to help support those who do, we also discuss the importance of having conversations about disabilities.  Listen in and learn from Ali's incredible journey and how it can inspire us all to be more understanding and supportive in our everyday lives.https://tonymantor.comhttps://Facebook.com/tonymantorhttps://instagram.com/tonymantorhttps://twitter.com/tonymantorhttps://youtube.com/tonymantormusicintro/outro music bed written by T.
