You can see Padmalaya on Facebook and on her YouTube Channel, Autism & Beyond. The Son-Rise Program for Autism came into her life when Carson was 3. He is now 19 and is no longer identified as autistic. During our conversation, several key lessons appeared that not only apply to raising a child with Autism but to each of us in every aspect of our daily lives.
