  • Thank you for being my village đź’™

    I found this podcast a little over a year ago, when both of my kids were first diagnosed with autism. At the time, I didn't know where to turn.. my friends all have neurotypical kids and there were no autism groups near me.. this podcast gave me the village I needed to work through all of the challenges that come with a diagnosis.

  • Every episode is relatable

    I can’t wait to share the grandparents episode with my dad. I can’t wait to listen to the overstimulation episode because I know EVERY parents regardless if their child is neurodivergent or not could benefit from some pointers.

    This is the BEST podcast for moms of children with Autism (duh it’s in the name). But really… listening to this podcast is like attending a support group or having a therapy session designed for you if you are a mom of a child with Autism. These four moms are funny, emotional and REAL. They make me feel less alone in this world of Autism. ❤️

  • This podcast saved me

    This podcast has helped me through every stage of the autism journey our family’s faced. Brittney, I relate to you the most as my son is low functioning. But all moms have such kind hearts and we are honored to hear your stories and experiences.
