You just never know where a slice of pizza will take you.
For me, and today's guest, it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Join me as I introduce you to one of the best humans around, Carla McDonald. This is a conversation between two moms about parenting, advocating, learning, laughing, and more.
Carla's younger son is autistic and also has PTEN Hamartoma Tumor syndrome (PHTS), which is a rare genetic condition that causes an increased risk for certain cancers, benign growths, and neurodevelopmental disorders. As many as 20% of patients with PHTS are also autistic. By talking about this rare genetic condition, Carla hopes to spread awareness and knowledge so that children (and adults) can get the screenings needed to help improve their well being.
