Ep. 66 – Parenting a Child with Autism and DiGeorge Syndrome

In this episode, we sit down with Aleta, a 31-year-old mom from Opelika, Alabama, as she shares her powerful story of raising her daughter. Diagnosed at birth with DiGeorge Syndrome and later with autism, her daughters journey has been filled with both challenges and triumphs.

Aleta opens up about the complexities of navigating life with a child who has dual diagnoses, from understanding the rare condition of DiGeorge Syndrome (22q11.2 deletion syndrome) to learning how autism uniquely impacts her daughter. She candidly discusses the struggles of differentiating behaviors between the two diagnoses.

This episode is a testament to resilience, unconditional love, and the beauty of embracing life’s unique journey.
