Why parents of autism never have enough time… and how to change it

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the breakfast dishes glued to the table with porridge, Lego scattered across the kitchen floor, and your child eloping just as you’re about to leave the house, you are not alone.

For parents of autistic children, time never seems to stretch far enough. Between meltdowns, safety moments, sensory needs, and endless tasks, the day disappears before you’ve had a chance to breathe. But what if the problem isn’t time itself - what if it’s how the world expects us to use it?

In this episode, we’ll explore how “micro-disruptions” steal your hours and energy, and I’ll show you three powerful shifts to help you reclaim both without changing your child, your job, or your commitments.

You’ll learn how to:
 💡 Spot hidden time drains unique to autism family life
 💡 Set boundaries that protect your time and your nervous system
💡 Design a weekly rhythm that brings back calm and control

Because your life isn’t a brochure - it’s real, unpredictable, and full of love. And your presence matters more than a perfect schedule ever will.
