67. Changing your Script in the New Year

We have to stop feeling victim to our lives. We have to stop feeling sorry for ourselves because our parenting journey is different than other people in our family or our friend circle. Look, let's just be honest, raising a child or children with autism is not easy, we all know that. I want all of you to stop thinking about your life and the first feeling you get is overwhelmed or tired. You have to figure out how to love your life. Right now, right where you are in your journey.  THIS IS your life so now it is up to you, you get to decide HOW to think and feel about it. In 2022 I want you to start to talk to yourself like you are proud of your life and not at the effect of it. Give the good in your life equal airtime to the challenges and the difficult times. Life isn’t all good or all bad, life is 50/50. www.notyouraverageautismmom.com 

Om Podcasten

This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children but it has evolved and we have listeners across the world who are relatives of someone with autism, special education teachers, and other professionals. My son Jordan was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old, now 28. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week I talk about topics that directly impact your life and go hand in hand with your unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com
