In this episode we talk to Sonia Callaghan. Sonia is a mum and a clinical intellectual disabilities nurse. She's a strong Autism advocate and also involved in special schools and youth groups. In this conversation, Sonia shares her and her son Tomás' journey. The topics discussed today come with a trigger warning. There are vivd descriptions of self-injurious behaviour and extreme situations and events that have occurred. Just like Sonia, it is our hope that sharing these experiences will help families and individuals that are going through a particularly difficult time to take some strength from knowing that you are not alone and it is possible to get to the far side.
