S10: All About Autism E2: Interview with Kate Swenson

S10: All About Autism E2: Interview with Kate Swenson

We had the pleasure of interviewing our friend Kate Swenson about her amazing book Forever Boy set to release on April 5th, 2022.

We discuss her family, autism, motherhood, and this journey of meeting each other in her supporter group Coops Troops. From her book "But I remind myself too, autism was always there. It wasn't given to him by a doctor who said the word out loud. It was inside him, woven through him like the sunlight shining between our faces. I just couldn't see it yet. But I could feel" page 88 of Forever Boy.

We will be forever grateful for her willingness to open her life to the internet and know she has helped shape a community, provided information, and encouragement, on her Facebook page, through her writing, and her kind words for us as fellow bloggers.

Find her book on Amazon Forever Boy: A Mother's Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy https://www.amazon.com/dp/0778311996/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CBSCCGA93DY9RWPW23R6

Or locally at Barnes & Noble and Target.
