When Autism Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All: A Mom’s Tough Truth


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of That’s What I’m Talking About, I sit down with my neighbor, Lisa Katz, to talk about her journey raising triplet sons—one of whom is severely autistic and living with mitochondrial disorder.

Lisa opened up about the realities of parenting through diagnosis changes, navigating vaccine concerns, trying different diets and natural remedies, and the heavy emotional and practical toll that comes with caring for an adult child who will need lifelong support.

We also dug into the importance of making informed choices—like reading labels, reducing inflammation through food, and finding community support. It’s a raw, honest conversation about the challenges, the advocacy, and the strength it takes for families facing complex medical needs.
