Send a textHosts Meghan (Smallwood) and Patrick (Cadigan) revisit a Season 2 parent interview with Jane Plapinger, improving the audio and combining the two parts into one conversation. Jane shares her experiences supporting her son David, who has autism, as he transitions into adulthood. The conversation covers helpful resources, challenges the family faced, and the small victories along the way. Jane also reflects on what she wishes she had known earlier, the importance of flexibility, and how David is building his adult life.
