This episode #09 S&R features the Chamlee Family. Heather shared her family's Autism Journey, challenges, wins, and new business. 

Heather Chamlee and her husband and I live in the Southern California desert, raising 3 amazing neurodiverse children, running our own businesses & navigating the world of special needs parenting together! Our oldest, Ranger (7) is autistic and limitedly verbal, learning to communicate with an AAC device. He LOVES being outside in the elements and is fiercely independent & purely magical. Ryder (6) is also autistic and hyperverbal, using lots of echolalia and scripting to communicate. He LOVES to learn about EVERYTHING, is the best snuggler & so funny! Both boys are daring sensory seekers! Hayley (4) has some sensory sensitivities & speech issues that are currently being evaluated. She LOVES taking care of her stuffed babies (animals), playing with EVERYONE & is smart & sassy enough to take over the world one day if she wants! I am a proud mom & wife, and also a photographer, a cookie baker, a date night box creator & a kinda crunchy self-care enthusiast!

She started a company making at-home date night boxes for special needs parents. It's a project that is SO near and dear to her heart. Visit her Business page at https://morethanjustcaregivers.com/
