Description

Amy Blackburn is my first guest talking about Down syndrome so this is a special one for me. In this episode Amy shares her journey of parenting her 6 year old son Remy. She discusses the emotional impact of receiving the diagnosis, the challenges of navigating day to day life, and what happened when her older children were told about Remy’s diagnosis by someone else without her consent. Our conversation delves into the realities of managing safety, education, and Amy’s worries for Remy as he gets older. We talk about Amy’s experiences with social media, good and bad, and why it’s so important to raise awareness.
