Raising any child – neurotypical or neurodiverse – is an emotional process. Feeling a range of emotions about any child is normal and healthy. There will always be certain moms who will choose to be right over choosing to listen to understand.

when you are a special needs mom with a child that has severe autism & is on the spectrum, finding time to immerse myself in self-care routines can be hard.

Being the special needs mom of two, it can be a daily struggle for me to make time for myself in the midst of busy therapy schedules, behaviors, meltdowns, routines, mealtimes, playtime, and bedtime.
