    How I'm Thriving as an Autistic Parent

    How I'm Thriving as an Autistic Parent

    When I first became a parent, I was undiagnosed, burnt out and overwhelmed. Now, ten years into my parenting journey, I've evolved into a confident, creative, joyful, parent, a transformation I couldn't have imagined a decade ago. Today I'm talking about my journey, what I've learned, and how I got here.

    As a late-identified person, I didn't know what autistic burnout was until I was already many years into one. Then, I was able to make some significant changes that reduced many of my day-to-day challenges, and stayed burnout-free for a number of years. But around last summer, I almost hit hit full burnout again. In this episode, I'm explaining what happened, what I learned from it, and how I got out of burnout in record time.

Such a great resource

It was an honor to be interviewed by Danielle. This is such a great resource for parents of neurodivergent children.

Fantastic resource

I just discovered this podcast, and I have never felt more seen. As an autistic woman parenting 2 young children, I have had trouble finding resources that I can relate to. I look forward to more episodes and would recommend it to every autistic adult and anyone looking to understand the autistic people in their lives!
