In this episode I discussed Autism with Fatimah Giwa Abdulrahman and her personal journey with caring for her son, Khalil.

Fatty Giwa is an Autism parent coach, a parent advocate for children with autism and special needs and a certified Autism and Applied Behaviour specialist. She is a writer, passionate about sharing her knowledge and experience with the world. A wife and a dedicated mom of 3.

After being a stay at home mom for over 10 years, she finds her voice through her love for writing and is using it to spread awareness about autism. She offers coaching and counselling services especially to moms with children with autism giving them hope and helping them understand their children and guiding them through difficult and challenging areas.

She wants to be the voice especially for the Muslim parent to raising God conscious children with autism.

During this episode sis fatimah shared she’s on her journey to becoming more self aware and from our conversation I can attest she is walking her talk! Sis fatimah reminded me self acceptance, reflecting and accepting your mistakes, flaws and using your lessons to do better.

This episode is packed with so much honesty and I love it ! Before we move on to the conversation, I would like to add that as at the time this episode is released Fatimah is holding a virtual potty training workshop for parents of children with autism on the 3rd of December.If you are or you know someone who will benefit from this workshop, please reach out to her @journey_with_fg on IG.
