The Autism Mom Coach

Ep. 178 Sharing Your Child's Autism Diagnosis


Listen Later

How much of your child’s autism diagnosis do you share with other people? Some autism moms share openly on social media, while others share only when it feels necessary. In this episode of The Autism Mom Coach Podcast, I give you a simple 3-part framework to help you decide what feels right for you.

This is a question autism parents face often:

  • Do I explain my child’s meltdowns or behaviors so others understand?
  • Should I tell neighbors or teachers more to support safety?
  • Can sharing help me feel less alone and more connected?

In this episode, I walk you through the three principles I use when deciding what to share and with whom: Clarity, Care, and Connection.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

✅ Why there’s no “right” or “wrong” amount to share about your child’s diagnosis

✅ How this information can help others understand your child’s behaviors

✅ When sharing is important for your child’s safety and care

✅ How sharing can build connection and reduce isolation for autism moms
