Remembering the feelings of isolation and overwhelm when her son was first diagnosed with autism 10 years ago, Katherine Kanaaneh decided to utilize the knowledge she has gained through participating in and now facilitating an autism support group to help other parents retain their sanity and solve the day-to-day problems that arise with a new diagnosis. As a former CPA, she used her organizational skills and financial knowledge to help her cope with the autism paperwork. She hopes you will set your intention to make one positive change daily. And always remember to go shine.
