Satu Taiveaho, Executive Director of the Autism Association, experienced the most difficult year of his life, during which he completely re -re -made his life. Satu, who returned to Riihimäki in hometown, unexpectedly found a new happiness.
Satu Taiveaho48, has experienced a variety of colorful stages in his life, but 2022 exceeded all the wildest imaginations.
Then the setbacks came from the doors and windows, and the third marriage ended.
– It was really a shit year in every way. After all, it aroused feelings of bitterness and disbelief in itself so that this cannot happen. However, I turned it so that I was going and decided to find out, Taiveaho tells Iltalehti.
As a woman, the fairy tale did not lie down. He applied and got a job from several places. After many twists and turns, he received the place as the Executive Director of the Autism Association and moved to his home town of Riihimäki.
“It was the best option to be in a familiar place with ready -made support networks,” he says, adding that his own parents have been a great support.

Children placed in fairy tale, such as most children placed, have at least some special needs that create their own challenges for everyday life. As a substitute for special children, he himself is concerned about the survival of autistic and neurobrifiers in demanding modern society and knows the problems of families at first.
The single parent’s financial situation was put to the test shortly after the move, as electricity prices rose high and had to pay more than a thousand euros in electricity bills. Satu’s everyday life has also been overshadowed by setbacks that have joined the previous house store.
– I have given up much and adapted to the situation, but I wanted to keep a certain standard of living. I have had to do two jobs, and I have also been the Best for Children Camps, that is, led family camps on weekends. Now I’m about to give up this work, even though it has been bright and nice.

A deep difference
After leaving his third union, Satu had a feeling that he would never want to divorce again. He participated Bruce Fisher to the doctrine.
There he realized that he had not treated some of the ballast of the previous divorces. The youth union, which ended in 2005, describes as a clean and good relationship. According to Satu, it became a barrier to his work -focused nature.
– I’m the kind of lifestyle worker that when I fall into something, I don’t look at the clock. When I was a very young social director, I made my career and went into politics and did not give the relationship time. He is still a wonderful person.
Sadu also has a good relationship with another husband MP (center) Antti Kaikkonenfrom which he resigned in 2018.
– Everyday life with two small special children was extremely difficult. Antti did a long day at the time, and we also had violent setbacks. The fall of adoption left the big pain in my soul, but that was not the reason for the difference. We were a good team until the end, but the relationship became just a friendly, Satu says.

As a broader social, he feels that parents of special children do not receive enough support and therefore often exhausted in everyday life. Sometimes, according to him, such a situation ends.
At the Eros seminar, it was an eye -opening to stop to face their own feelings of anger and bitterness. Satu feels that he understands himself and the root causes of his choices now better than before.
– I was trained and in the fall to pull the erosive seminars myself.
Satu says that after settling in Riihimäki, he was deep into the everyday life of a single parent, which, together with two work, swallowed much of his resources.
– I was pretty sure that a person in such a life situation would never find anyone in the world.
– Often my exploration ended at the moment I realized that one was looking for an adult relationship. I didn’t want it, and I didn’t have the opportunity to break away from my own childhood. I wanted a person who wants the whole package and who understands what to go.
New relationship
Then the dating app came to Ville.
She had divorced the father of a primary school girl, who acts as a volunteer support person for men who divorced through the MenKaki ry and was ready to have honest discussions.
Satu became interested in Ville’s positive attitude and sense of humor. Now they have been together for a couple of years and the relationship has deepened.
“You never know what’s going on, but I feel more mature in this regard than ever,” he says.
– We also have a common will. We have slowly advanced in life solutions. We were also together for a little time, which was a freezing thing for me. However, he had to finish the stuff of his previous life, and then we got forward.
Satu says he supported the man in his process. The desire to go through things with the root of combining them. The challenges of new families have been talked about for a long time and the pattern has been eager to think about.
The couple intends to move together this summer.
– It’s wonderful that now we can plan things.
The new relationship is on a stable basis, says Satu Taiveaho. Elle Laitila
Joy of life
Since last spring, the fairy tale has felt that my own forces have returned since the turmoil. He has returned to his former cheerfulness and activity, and Satu has once again experienced a strong desire to influence social issues.
He went through the council in the regional elections in Kanta-Häme and is waiting for information on his more accurate positions of trust in the well-being area.
He remembers his Member of Parliament as a publicity spin that taxed forces. Still, he longs for the job of access to the scenes of social decisions: understanding and influencing it. In the current work, as the CEO of the Autism Association, the best thing is to be able to speak for tolerance and to highlight the disadvantages encountered by people in the neurotraces.
Satu Taiveaho laughs at the age of 48: many professions, relationships and unexpected situations. Of some people, the rapid twists and turns of his life have sparked criticism and curiously. However, he was already accustomed to them during his Member of Parliament.
– Then I came across everything from the death threats, says Satu.
– Nowadays I can move freely and I am no longer recognized on the street or smuggling.
He is calmly treated with people’s desire to follow and speculate on the lives of others.
– It’s easy to condemn if someone gets engaged quickly, moves together or divorced. Even if someone’s life looks strange, there is always a reason behind solutions. Don’t assume anything if you don’t know, Satu says.
– Everyone has their own kind of ballast, so they are gently treated with each other.
