    Coping With Humor: Revisited Part 2

    Welcome to today's episode of Hi & Stuff. Today we're discussing Coping with humor... again. The pieces I’m reading are entitled 'That Club,' 'Clutter,' 'I Am The Child (revised.)' and 'Poems For Forest Music I-V.'  Parenting can be scary. With autism, caregivers get a lot of stress and so much to cope with. Hi and Stuff is here to help caregivers understand the autism spectrum and how to stop to rest and care for themselves, too. Put the “pause” in mom-opause! Caregivers get so overwhelmed caring for others that we tend to forget to take care of ourselves. I’ve faced challenges and setbacks. Won’t you join me on my mom-opause journey? Your midlife process may be similar to mine. I’m a non-traditional (older) full-time doctoral student at Binghamton working on my memoir. I read some of my writing aloud on every episode of the podcast.
