Caroline Dempster-Fitzpatrick & Charlotte (AUS) – Parenting, Divorce & Rett (Part 1)
10/24/2019
Caroline and I have actually known each other for a few years but this was the time first we sat down to talk about how Rett Syndrome has effected her daughter Charlotte and how her divorce has changed their family dynamics.
This is Part 1 of our talk - I didn't want to edit out anything as we both felt that someone in the same position as Caroline would benefit from hearing what she had to say.

Jodi Amiri & Avery (USA) – Rollercoasters & Rett
10/21/2019
Jodi's 7 year old daughter Avery has Rett Syndrome, but that was not her first diagnosis.
After talking with many families, it was apparent that alot of us experience receiving an Autism diagnosis before we reach the correct diagnosis of Rett.
I loved hearing about how funny and fun Avery is and I loved hearing about what inspires Jodi to do more for Avery despite Rett Syndrome.
