Mom on Purpose

Creating Our Path with Autism & PDA


Listen Later

I am happy that you are here today. We're talking about something that's always vulnerable and very raw for me. If you've been following along for a while, you know about my family and how we're dealing with autism and PDA.

I have already done an episode before which I hope helps bring a lot of peace and comfort and hopefully hope to families that find themselves in similar situations.

For Autism Awareness Month, I wanted to do a follow-up on creating a path when dealing with neuro divergencies.

Whether that is autism, PDA, or any other challenges that you have with your kids, I hope this episode helps you embrace the process of thinking outside of the box and following your intuition on a very deep level when you have nothing else to go by or no proof that things are going to work out. 

What you'll learn in this episode:  

  • How trusting our intuition is necessary when facing uncertainty in parenting
  • The hope, humor, and deeper appreciation for the world of neurodiversity
  • Our story of battling PDA burnout and the unusual, gut-feeling path we took towards recovery
  • The need for patience and understanding in the diverse ways brains interpret instructions and the world around us
  • The historical mischaracterizations of autism and how evolving perceptions are shaping the treatment of autistic individuals

Featured on the Show: 

  • Ep 39: Behind the Curtain of Autism & PDA
  • PDA North America
  • Research Into Left-Handedness And Its Effects
