Living as a Mother Guide
Self-Compassion Is Essential on the Autism Parenting Journey
I have a personal mission to get as many moms to practice self-compassion as possible. Why? To begin, I have my own personal experience of living many years without practicing self-compassion on my autism parenting journey. Not because I didn’t want or choose to, but because I didn’t know it existed.
Advocate With Kindness
I believe that mothers are some of the very best problem-solvers in the world, and they get very little credit. Over the years I have witnessed mothers in action and I am amazed at how they advocate for their children on the spectrum. They show up for their child with a fierce loving kindness that I deeply admire.
Kindness Is a Must
Why is kindness essential on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder journey? Well, you probably have noticed that this autism parenting journey is no cakewalk. It comes with a lot of daily frustration, fear, guilt, and overwhelm that can cause heavy wear and tear on your mind, body, and soul, and because of that, you need to bring a massive amount of kindness to yourself.

The days following hearing the words “Joseph is autistic,” were some of my darkest days. I was living with the deepest pain I had felt in my 32 years of life. It was my first life tsunami. I didn’t know the way out to find the light. It felt like instantly being lost and not knowing which way to go.
