Being an autistic parent comes with unique joys — but also deep, often hidden challenges.
In this episode, I open up about the raw, unfiltered reality of parenting while navigating autism. This is the part you don’t often see: the sensory overload, the emotional weight, the unexpected victories, and the daily resilience that goes unnoticed.
You’ll hear about:
What it's really like managing meltdowns while staying regulated
Coping with societal pressure and misunderstanding
Balancing parenting expectations with personal needs
The beauty of thriving as an autistic parent — not just surviving
Whether you're an autistic parent yourself or someone wanting to better understand our world, this episode is a space for honesty, connection, and support.
