179: Tylenol & Toughing it Out for Autism Moms


Listen Later

This week on The Autism Mom Coach, I’m talking about the recent announcement linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism—and the harmful recommendation for moms to “tough it out.”

If you’ve ever blamed yourself for your child’s autism…

If you’ve felt judged for your parenting choices…

If you’re tired of hearing that moms are at fault…

This episode is for you.

As autism moms, we are already toughing it out every single day—navigating therapies, schools, meltdowns, doctors, and the constant undercurrent of guilt and shame. The last thing we need is another message telling us we’re to blame.

Inside this episode, I share:

  • Why blaming moms for autism is nothing new (hello, “refrigerator mom” theory).
  • The impact these narratives have on our mental health.
  • Why autism is not your fault—and how to remind yourself of that truth.
  • How to stop internalizing guilt and start having your own back.

Whether you’re frustrated, angry, or just exhausted from toughing it out, this conversation will give you validation and support.
