With April being Autism awareness month, I was privileged to sit down with a mom who has a son who is autistic and really get to talk to her about what it's like.

Her son Sam recently had the honor of cutting the ribbon for the grand opening at Tremblay Electric.

It was a wonderful experience to get to meet Jill and talk to her about her life and being a parent.

I asked Jill what one thing would she tell parents of an autistic child, her response was perfect.

"Reach out, surround yourself with family and friends, even autism services. You build your own family your own support, and if you surround yourself with people who understand it makes day to day that much easier."

Below is our interview.
