No. 34 Yen Tesoro

The Takiwātanga (Autism) Experience

Yen is a Filipino migrant mum of 3. Her youngest child was diagnosed with autism and in this episode, we talked about her autism journey and shared some of her insights about autism and support available in Aotearoa.

She is an advocate of re-usable nappies.

"I want to bring a cost-effective solution to the masses, where each parent, regardless of financial status will be able to afford. We want you to have easy access to reusable nappies by offering cheaper options to jumpstart your journey. We want to show you how easy it is to use a cloth nappy and how much money your family can save while also putting less waste in the landfill." - Yen
