  • Summary

  • In this episode Mel chats with Jo Abi, a journalist, media commentator, author and autism advocate who has three children - two sons, Philip, 18, Giovanni, 15, and her daughter Kitty, 13. 

    Philip and Giovanni both have autism and are on the NDIS - and it looks like Kitty will soon be joining them, as she’s currently being assessed for an autism diagnosis. 

    Jo has a lovely new partner who also has autism - and who she met at an Autism Awareness Australia event - but for the past five years, she’s been a solo mum. Not an uncommon thing to be, in the disability family space. 

    Jo shares her tips for fellow solo parents navigating the NDIS and explores how things change when kids on the scheme grow into young adults.
