This is Jeanette OâÂÂDonnell, mom to six children. Five have autism. You might recognize her from Extreme Makeover Home Edition. In 2007, her family received a beautiful new home. âÂÂItâÂÂs as if angels came in and lifted us up, made it perfect,â OâÂÂDonnell marveled. For the first time since the show, hear her talk about her life, and how she wants moms to stop judging others' choices and focus on the kids. She advocates for the autism community to come together, forget battles over cause and treatment, and instead, get society ready for these children and these children ready for society. OâÂÂDonnell blogs on Trusera . com regularly, and is sometimes criticized for not focusing on âÂÂcuringâ her kids. She has found many therapies that have helped her children grow and thrive. OâÂÂDonnell wishes all parents could be supported - not criticized - for the choices they make. Presented by Trusera, the online network where you can find and share real-world experiences with others who have been there. Come. Listen. Share.
