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.
