Jennifer Wynn Stoll is passionate about encouraging parents and loved ones of those on the autism spectrum. Finding that her young sons were on the autism spectrum was intimidating as she faced the challenges that the diagnosis and reality brought her as a new mother.

She has a heart for helping others to have hope, meeting their children, spouse and loved ones where they are, engaging resources and encouraging fellow-strugglers to look beyond their trials to see the treasures on the way.

Guest Jennifer Wynn Stoll explains what it was like to find out – after getting married – that her husband was on the autism spectrum, and how this affected her marriage. After her two sons were born, they too were diagnosed with autism at an early age. Not wanting them to be ostracized, but rather experience a full, natural life, Jennifer set out to research and advocate for her family members.
