Unmasking Moms: How Being Your Authentic Self Helps Your Neurodivergent Child Thrive
Description
In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I explore how mothers of neurodivergent children can embrace their authentic selves—quirks, sensitivities, and all—and why this is so powerful for modeling self-acceptance. I chat about the pressure to conform to the "good mom" ideal, the costs of masking, and practical strategies for living more authentically. Most importantly, you'll hear about how your authenticity directly teaches your child that their differences are valid and worthy of acceptance.
Thank you for supporting the podcast and sharing it with others:)

I just stumbled upon this podcast and found your episode on 'unmasking' so thought provoking. Thank you. I'm a septuagenarian raising an autistic toddler. (My great grandchild.) I have witnessed his neuro-divergent aunt and uncle's struggle to feel comfortable in the world and a lot of what you say here begins to build a new perspective.
