Atypical Parenting; The Podcast for People Who Love Someone With Autism

If you've been feeling isolated and alone in your parenting journey, this week's episode will bring you hope.  Join Dawn Tree as she discusses the issues of social isolation in parenting someone on the spectrum.  She shares why she started the podcast, who she is, and where she is now on her own parenting journey.   Atypical parenting is a place where new friends are made, and support is found.

Autism diagnosis can bring clarity and appropriate resources.  Unfortunately there are many things that can interfere with finding a clinician who understands Autism spectrum disorders.  Join us as we discuss the challenges in finding an appropriate diagnosis and why that diagnosis is vitally important.

Adulting on the spectrum is no easy task.  Join me as I talk with Jen Alumbaugh, MS, the founder of Expansive Mindset Coaching where she helps neurodivergent people identify their strengths and life goals.  On this episode, we discuss why so many autistic people struggle to find sustainable employment, along with practical accommodations that can help.  Jen shares some of her own journey as well as offers alternatives to traditional jobs and why that is important. 

Ever wonder what your typical child is thinking or feeling as you try to juggle everyone’s needs? Shawna Kerr looks back on her upbringing as the sibling to an autistic brother, and offers insight with constructive solutions to help all your children thrive.
