Diagnosis Isn't a Choice, My Martyrdom Is with Margaret Webb - Episode 175
Hello Brave Friends! This is story episode #175. When our child gets diagnosed it can feel like the snow globe of our life gets shaken really hard, and that everything is suddenly up in the air. But as the flakes slowly settle, we get the chance to reevaluate our relationships with everything, including ourselves.
When Margaret Webb’s son was diagnosed with Autism she became a warrior for him, fighting day in and day out for his comfort, development and care. But as you might guess, in the heat of battle, she lost touch with herself. Until one day, she saw a magazine cover that reminded her to reconnect.
Welcome to today's story episode: Diagnosis Isn't a Choice, My Martyrdom Is.

He LOVES the work she does and takes great pride in the fact that she gets to help other parents with their children.

Knowing that she is helping others to find ease and joy in their lives makes her heart very happy!!
