'I Was Told the Problem Was Me’: Raising My Autistic Daughter

Catherine Simpson thought she was failing as a mother throughout the first 10 years of her daughter Nina's life. After a decade of misdiagnosis, blame, and searching for answers, she finally discovered the truth: Nina is autistic.


In this episode of Happy Mum Happy Baby, Catherine sits down with Giovanna for a conversation about the journey to getting Nina—now 31—her diagnosis.


This episode is all about letting go of perfection, and learning to navigate a world not built for autistic children.


Catherine’s memoir, Hold Fast: Motherhood, My Autistic Daughter and Me, is available now.
