The Autism in Black Podcast is hosted by Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC and focuses on all things autism and the black parent experience. Our goal is to educate, support, and empower black parents to advocate not only for their children but themselves as well.

This episode is a mom spotlight where we have conversations with moms who are doing great things in the autism parenting community. Today we are joined by Jessie Lipscomb, who is a media consultant, blogger, and illustrator. Jessie talks with us about her autism parent journey with her son. She talks about how her and her husband dealt with the diagnosis and how getting her sons diagnosis led her to start a blog that has helped many moms whose child has just received the ASD diagnosis. She goes on to talk about how her sons diagnosis has impacted her marriage and how her and her husband still make time for each other as well as balancing having more kids.
