In this episode of ISAAC’s Autism in the wild, I had the pleasure to sit down and interview Clara’s (episode 23, Perspectives Over Time) daughter, Sophie Strom, who was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder as a young girl. Sophie, now in her twenties, tells us what it was like growing up in a time when very little was understood about ASD. Sophie shares her experiences overcoming sensory processing challenges and insights that parents raising young children will not want to miss. There is no way that you will walk away from this podcast NOT feeling absolutely inspired.
