The Deese family: A journey with autism
“All your life, when you have a child with exceptional needs, you always hear their limitations … And finally you meet these people and it’s like, ‘I think he can do this.’ And I’m like, ‘Somebody’s in our corner.’ It’s amazing! It’s a miracle!“
Tammy Deese, joined by her son Travis, talks with anchor Hannah Wilson about the joys and challenges of raising a child with autism and shares the details of how her family discovered her son’s affinity for working in the kitchen.
