In this episode, we’re simply catching you up on life lately.

We share a school update, some emotional struggles that were unexpected during a planned psych meeting, and the realities of navigating challenges that many autism families will understand. We also chat about sleep (because when is sleep not part of the conversation?), our latest adventures creating stuffies, and one of those surprisingly deep discussions about what happens after I die.

It’s a little bit serious, a little bit funny, a little bit random—and a very honest look at what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Thanks for spending some time with us.

Before kids, we were perfect parents… at least in our heads.

In this episode of Autism Unmuted, we’re talking about all the things we swore we would NEVER do as parents — co-sleeping, relying on screens, negotiating with toddlers, leaving places mid-meltdown, making separate meals… and how autism parenting completely changed our perspective.

This episode is funny, honest, relatable, and a reminder that parenting isn’t about looking perfect — it’s about doing what works for your child and your family.

We’re sharing the rules we let go of, the judgments we outgrew, and the ways autism parenting taught us flexibility, compassion, and survival.

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I never thought I’d be this parent…” this episode is for you.

There are so many “rules” that come with autism parenting that nobody ever talks about… but somehow, parents all end up learning them.
Rules like always knowing where the exits are. Never assuming a quick trip will actually be quick. Understanding that recovery time is just as important as the outing itself. Celebrating things other people might never even notice.
In this episode, we talk about the unspoken survival rules autism parents slowly learn through love, adaptation, exhaustion, and experience. The things that become second nature when you’re raising a child with different sensory needs, routines, emotions, and ways of experiencing the world.
Some parts are funny. Some are emotional. Most are deeply relatable.
If you’ve ever felt like autism parenting comes with an invisible handbook nobody gave you… this episode is for you.
