Normal Is A Lie! How Special Needs Families Do Life Differently

Normal is Lie: Doing Life Differently as a Special Needs Parent
We are taking you to “Church” this week!
In this episode, we draw the distinctions of The Family Systems Theory and how it is a harmful model in setting the pace or standard for family life. The prototype of the family when there is a child with a disability, it’s much different. That model also sees disability as negative. The problem with that is that pathology sets the tone for the points of view society has about disability. Yes, disability is real, but it doesn’t have to be bad. It can be really beautiful, not that I want to romanticize it, you just don’t want people to miss out on the good things or write off the value our children bring to the world.
Hardest part of all, we don’t have a point of reference for the framework(s) of families like ours.
With that comes the additional layers of shame, comparison, and feeling like a burden.
Perfectly functioning nuclear families aren’t the pinnacle of human society and what we don’t know is that this model has to be thrown out once we embrace or know our child has a diagnosis.
We are conditioned and groomed for a different kind of life, and it’s not the one we have been handed.
Again, it is important to recognize we don’t have a point of reference like the nuclear family with neurotypical or typically developing children.
Helpful tips:
- Lower your expectations
- Delegate the things you think are only “mom duties”
- Reframe the setbacks as opportunities to reflect
- You don’t have to do it all
- Prioritize what is most important
- Don’t subscribe to cliches
- Your biggest job is to become mentally strong

Can you know for sure what the future holds for your child? What does life as a teenager or an adult look like for our kids? How do I start building a new dream and life around my child now that they have a diagnosis? Every child and situation is different, but there are some universal things we can all do to find peace and happiness as we begin our autism journey.

Moms Talk Autism Podcast
10/04/21 • 37 min
We're talking about grief.
Grief isn't just reserved for someone who faces a death or loss. It happens when you go through any kind of loss.
We are talking about the loss of a child you 'thought' you were going to have. The loss of the dreams and hopes you envisioned. The loss of you're old life.
This is the first episode of a series. Denial is one of 5 stages that are common in grieving.
Shannon leads the discussion

What I Wish I'd Known In The Beginning of My Childs Autism Journey - With Shannon Korza, Jean Mayer, Jody Warshawsky, Tash Dillmon
Moms Talk Autism Podcast
11/15/21 • 47 min
I'm sure you've said, "I wish I would've known.." many times. We have. That's why we decided to have a whole episode on it! We're sharing things that we wish we had known from the beginning. Talking about family & friends, services, diagnosis & more.
When we start this journey of autism with our families, we are sorta thrust into a lifestyle that we have no clue how to navigate. There are so many things that we are focusing on. One foot in front of the other. Trying to manage everything, including our emotions, and navigate the world with our new reality. Amid all that, lessons we are learning that we wish we would have known BEFORE they hit.
"I wish I'd known ______." That's what we'll be talking about today!

A journey of doing life differently and encountering feeling broken then having a breakthrough. Jean was at fundamental odds with herself + learning to let go of the old version and facing the sobering realities of motherhood transformed into larger ones as a special needs parent. In the past five years, Jean talks about her metamorphosis into fully surrender to advocate. It's a story of the reluctance of slowing saying goodbye to the old Jean and claiming a new identity as a mom, a woman, + an ambitious entrepreneur. She describes the slow road to acceptance + dismantling her own internalized ableism. Realizing we are groomed for a different life. Learning through her son's experience what it truly means to be human + living an extraordinary life, carving out a path that has never been done before.

Moms Talk Siblings- With Brittney Crabtree, Tash Dillmon, Shannon Korza, Jean Mayer, & Jody Warshawsky
Moms Talk Autism Podcast
12/13/21 • 41 min
Talking about ALL of the kids today. We discussed the ins and outs of parenting neuro-divergent and neuro-typical children within each of our families. Age gaps, sibling dynamics, and what we hope the future holds for each of our kids as they grow up and become more independent.
We hope you can relate to one or more of our stories today. All of our families are very different, which means sibling relationships can be very different. There is no right way to do this parenting thing, but hearing others’ stories can hopefully spark some ideas to implement in your own home. Most importantly, we hope this episode gives you hope on how to discuss divergence within your own family and close friends.
*In what ways do you parent each of your children differently? What are their unique needs?
*How can we talk about autism and our family dynamic in an open and honest way? With others outside our family?
*Consider opening up to your children about your family concerns. How can your typical kids participate in including their special needs siblings?

Depression and Grieving - With Jean Mayer, Brittney Crabtree, Shannon Korza & Jody Warshawsky
Moms Talk Autism Podcast
10/24/21 • 58 min
If you have ever or currently been depressed, this is a great episode to listen to dial into different perspectives and times depression has hit other parents walking the autism parenting journey.
Depression can be really sneaky sometimes. It can also be a very heavy topic. Here are some signs + symptoms how it may present or manifest:
Persistent feelings of sadness + hopelessness
Anxiety + Irritability
Sleeping to much or too little
Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable
Difficulty concentrating, making decisions + remembering things
Low energy + fatigue
Thoughts or talk of Suicide
Some others not so quickly correlated but to be considered:
Temporary Mood Boosts
Significant Weight gain or loss
Increase appetite
Heavy Feeling in arms + legs
Body aches or headaches
Insomnia or extended sleep
Extreme negative response to perceived criticism or rejection
It's important to recognize when you need to help. Know that medication is okay if it is prescribed + doesn't mean you are a terrible a parent. It means you are a great one, because you are willing to take whatever steps necessary to support your child. Depression is a real disorder, even in the absence of grief, some of us are easily predisposed to experiencing it more than others. When symptoms are lasting longer than a week, reflect and see what you might need to put in place or in play to take care of you.
We love you + we want you to love yourselves just as much!
