Show Notes

Discover what’s possible when a mother learns her child’s language. 



Nora Alharbi is a teacher and a mother to four children in Saudi Arabia. Her second child, Fares, is autistic. Fares receives services at Namaee Center, our partner site in Riyadh. 



In this conversation, we discuss: 



  • The level of autism awareness in Saudi Arabia and what services are available for families there


  • How Nora came to accept her son’s autism


  • Fares’ autistic strengths and relationship with his siblings


  • How his communication skills have developed since attending Namaee Center


  • Advice for other parents who may be struggling with accepting their child’s diagnosis
