Fresh Take: Kate Swenson of "Finding Cooper's Voice" on Parenting Autism

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Kate Swenson is a mom to four kids, a wife, and a proud Minnesotan. She regularly writes and creates videos about her life as a mother and an autism advocate for her website "Finding Cooper's Voice," a living, thriving community of people who not only advocate for autism, but also make the world a better place for individuals with disabilities and their families.

Kate's book Forever Boy: A Mother's Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy is out now.

Kate is also the founder of the nonprofit The More Than Project, which supports the needs of special needs families that go beyond the needs of their special needs child.

In this episode we discuss

• Kate's journey to finding the correct diagnosis for her child
• what led her to put her story out into the world
• the sometimes-loneliness of special needs parenting, and how the Finding Cooper's Voice community offers insight, support, and fellowship
