Supporting Our Kids Through PDA Autistic Burnout

I’m back! Season 2 of the podcast—here we go! After a long pause, I’ve been feeling the pull to start podcasting again.

In this episode, I talk about supporting my kids through PDA autistic burnout. What even is PDA autistic burnout? What does it look like? What strategies were helpful? And what does life look like now that we’re (mostly) on the other side?

Navigating a season of burnout was incredibly difficult, exhausting, and isolating. If you’re in the deep end of it right now, I’m sending so much love and light your way. I hope this episode brings you hope—and helps you feel a little less alone.
