In this powerful episode of Autism for Badass Moms, we sit down with Ashley Zazueta, a 29-year-old mom from California, wife, and entrepreneur who is raising two sons—one neurodivergent and one neurotypical.
Her oldest son, Sebastian, was diagnosed with Autism at 22 months, followed by a second life-changing diagnosis: Fragile X Syndrome. Ashley shares the emotional rollercoaster of navigating a dual diagnosis and how it completely shifted her view of motherhood, advocacy, and identity.
We talk about:
The emotional impact of receiving two diagnoses back-to-back
How Ashley learned to advocate fiercely while also rediscovering herself
The importance of spreading awareness and building community
Why she chooses to speak out on social media—and how it’s helping other families feel seen
Ashley’s story is raw, real, and deeply inspiring. If you’re a parent facing the unexpected, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not alone, and you are stronger than you think.
