"Eating Pizza Backwards”—Eileen Flood O'Connor's Love Letter to Life with Autism
Every parent dreams of an easy, predictable path, but life rarely cooperates with our expectations. Meet Eileen Flood O'Connor, debut author and mother of four, who chronicles a 20+ year journey with her daughter Erin's autism in a gorgeous, joy-drenched essay collection "Eating Pizza Backwards." The book toggles between diagnosis day grief and celebrating grocery store dance parties, revealing waves of gratitude for the many helpers and moments of wonder uncovered day by day, year by year. We explore big questions—How do you parent a child who experiences the world differently? Can unexpected challenges strengthen rather than break relationships? What if slowing down actually speeds up your happiness? Listen in for a frank, honest conversation on navigating life's unexpected turns and learning how to hold grief in one hand and joy in the other.
