By Dr. Susan Walker

When I was working on my doctorate between 2000-2008 in North Carolina, my plate was full. I was a single mom, grant evaluator/analyst for school initiatives that required accountability documentation, and advocate for my autistic son, who suffered from Asperger’s Syndrome. He was violent and more than a handful, so at the time, my stress levels were off the chart. I lived in a large country rock home built on the side of a mountain. The house was moldy and damp smelling, but the view out the bay windows was priceless.
