I am back yet again with the hubster, the hubby, Tosan Olley. We are talking about a not so light topic about our daughter's reproductive healthcare and the decisions we are starting to make for her in hopes ofher living the highest quality of life possible. For those new to the podcast, we have an 11 -year -old daughter who's minimally verbal, on the autism spectrum, and intellectually disabled. So, this episode will walk through some traditionally seen as uncomfortable topics, things like periods, things like cramps.things like talking it through as a family for a child who has communication challenges. This is naturally a difficult conversation, whether or not your child can traditionally communicate or not. So, our daughter has a history of some sensory challenges associated with the way her autism manifests. So, once she turned 10,And we knew that that next phase was right around the corner.

So, we are pulling back the covers on this so you all could see some of the conversations my husband and I have had, some of the conversations we've had with her healthcare providers and hopes.Lola Dada-Olley (02:24.707)that we help other families like ours and not just those families but the health care providers that are part of those villages as well.

So, we did a blood test on Alero and we sat in her office and she told us that based on the blood tests, puberty is amongst us.Tosan Olley (03:08.648)I think we rewind a little bit. Yes, we did the blood test, but we went into that conversation with the endocrinologist with a little bit at the back of our head that one study showed that puberty seems to be hidden earlier.And even though she was nine going on 10, it felt like, you know, this generation and the generation before and on, you every generation seems to be hidden a little bit earlier. We had noticed some changes in our body. We were trying to make the determination. it, you know, just chubby baby versus, you know, development?Lola Dada-Olley (03:50.211)Yeah.Tosan Olley (04:00.93)So we went in with a.We think we need to confirm, we need your help, we need your input and what have you.
