Community Health Charities is partnering with member charity Autism Speaks for a discussion about the challenges parents face when dealing with an unexpected diagnosis of autism and the many medical, lifestyle, social and emotional issues surrounding the care of their child. Cathy Kanefsky, mother of twin boys with autism and Vice President, Field and Chapter Development for Autism Speaks, shares her personal story and professional insight on what parents can expect and where to turn for help.About Member Charity – Autism Speaks .
