STORY: I Was Afraid No One Would Believe Me with Lindsay Hooten
Hello Brave Friends! Welcome to today's story episode, #210. These are true stories from a moment in the life of a caregiving parent. We hear a crafted story, and then have a conversation with our guests that goes deeper into their experience.
Today we hear from one of our amazing connection circle leaders, Lindsay Hooten, whose son was diagnosed with autism in 2022. She opens up in this episode about why it took her YEARS to share about her child’s diagnosis.
In this episode, Lindsay shares her personal journey of finding her voice and the importance and power of sharing her story. She discusses the significance of radical acceptance, the complicated sibling experience, and the need for a supportive community that gets it. Lindsay also addresses the challenges of navigating relationships and the losses that can occur when sharing about her child's diagnosis.
