ETB 8: Overcoming Anxiety, Embracing Faith & Biomedical Interventions with Kim Lindquist
In this episode I talk with Kim Lindquist about life with Cowboy, her 23 year old son who has Autism. Kim shares how her faith helped her through early dark days of behavior challenges, anxiety and discouragement. She encourages parents to seek help if they begin to notice signs of anxiety or depression. Kim recommends Biomedical intervention and proposes it can work in conjunction with traditional medicine to bring about positive outcomes. She believes that taking care of ourselves better equips us to care for others. Kim is a gifted writer, who injects humor into her stories of life with Autism. Her desire is to help others have joy and most of all hope.
