In this episode, I sit down with Debbie, a mom who shares her powerful and heartfelt journey of supporting her daughter through autistic burnout. For over three years, Debbie has navigated the ups and downs of this experience, and she opens up about the struggles her family has faced.

We discuss the challenges her daughter encountered in school, the overwhelming uncertainty of not knowing how to help, and the difficult realities that come with advocating for a child in burnout. Debbie’s story sheds light on how burnout impacts not only the individual experiencing it but the entire family.

Her honesty and vulnerability make this conversation both eye-opening and deeply relatable. From moments of heartbreak to hard-earned lessons, Debbie offers insights that will resonate with parents, caregivers, and anyone trying to understand the complexities of autistic burnout.

This is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed, seeking connection, or wanting to better support their neurodivergent loved one. Tune in to hear Debbie’s inspiring story and find comfort in knowing you’re not alone.
