Sara is the mother of a healthy, recovered child who was presented at the annual Autism Research Institute conference as one of the first eight "fully recovered and mainstreamed" formerly-autistic children in the United States. She sets herself apart in the field with her story and with her relentless empathy for families facing the journey she once did.
