Staring Down the Storm: Autism Advocacy in America

How We Can Support Single Mothers of Autistic Children. Conversation with Christina McGairk


Listen Later

My friend Christina McGairk joins me to share her the multifaceted journey of autism advocacy, and we focus focusing on our personal experiences as single mothers of autistic children.


As always, there's so much to think about, things that people often forget, and the scale of it is immense. Hair care, dietary preferences, potty training, communication devices, educational experiences and school dynamics, navigating the challenges of autism and bullying, and that just scratches the surface.


But we're here to highlight the significance of community support, mentorship, and advocacy in navigating the complexities of raising autistic children.


Christina also shares insights from her journey of writing a devotional aimed at supporting single mothers of children with exceptional needs, and the need for awareness and action in the autism community.
