#125 Heather Vickers 51 Years Of FASD Experience
Manage episode 342215824 series 2781077
Have you heard the phrase, nothing about us without us? A lot of self-advocates use the phrase to remind us that we need to keep people with experience in the conversations. We’ve had quite a few individuals with FASD on the Show and I thought a great way to wrap up FASD Month was to hear from someone who openly shares her experience with many caregivers to help them understand their kids.
Heather Vickers received her diagnosis seven years ago when she was 44. She has been married since 2005, has a stepson with Autism, and is a cat mom and self-advocate. She candidly shares her before and after journey. The before is filled with difficult challenges trying to make it on her own without a diagnosis, understanding, and support. But she has an incredible story of transformation that occurred through sheer determination. She now shares her journey and insights to help other individuals with FASD and those that support them.
