For over three years, Debbie has navigated the ups and downs of this experience, and she opens up about the struggles her family has faced.

Her honesty and vulnerability make this conversation both eye-opening and deeply relatable. From moments of heartbreak to hard-earned lessons, Debbie offers insights that will resonate with parents, caregivers, and anyone trying to understand the complexities of autistic burnout.
