Back-to-school season isn’t always shiny backpacks and smiling first-day photos, especially when you’re parenting an autistic child. In this episode of The Be Mighty Mom Podcast, we dive into the real challenges autistic kids face during the back-to-school transition and how you, as their parent, can show up as their fiercest advocate.

We’ll unpack why the school environment can be so overwhelming. Think sensory overload, unpredictable routines, new teachers, and social pressures, and how you can prepare your child (and yourself) for success. From sensory-friendly school supplies to calming after-school routines, this episode is packed with real-world strategies you can use right away.

If you’re tired of being dismissed by teachers or judged by other parents, this episode will remind you that your advocacy is powerful, your voice matters, and your child deserves to thrive in school, on their terms.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The biggest back-to-school challenges for autistic kids

• How to give yourself grace during the transition season

Because back-to-school doesn’t have to mean meltdowns, overwhelm, and tears. With the right tools, you can create a calmer, more confident start for both you and your child.
