Some tips to keep in mind: Interview your BCBA and other therapists. It's not just what is applied, but how it is applied. No therapy is perfect and they all require your participation and oversight as a parent to be successful.
If you have questions or concerns, we'd love to chat about it with you. Let us know what you think!

Moms Talk Siblings- With Brittney Crabtree, Tash Dillmon, Shannon Korza, Jean Mayer, & Jody Warshawsky
Moms Talk Autism, Parenting Autism, ADHD, Special Needs
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?

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 Check us out and say hello Where to find Moms Talk Autism Website Email Instagram Where to find Jody Website Email Instagram Where to find Shannon Email Instagram Where to find Jean Email Instagram Where to find Tash Email Instagram Where to find Brittney Website Email Instagram
Trust: How do we trust others to care for our kiddos? - With Tash Dillmon, Jody Warshawsky, Jean Mayer & Shannon Korza
Moms Talk Autism, Parenting Autism, ADHD, Special Needs
11/29/21 • 46 min
Today we talked about trusting others to care for our autistic children. Whether family members, teachers or therapists. We talked about how we can gain that trust and also how to let go of our fears and find confidence in others.
We hope you'll gain better insight into why we are sometimes stuck in wanting to control situations involving our kids. We also want to shed light on how trusting others can alleviate some of the stress of needing to do everything for our kids.
*What is the deeper cause of distrust with family members/
*What can we do to help and gain more trust and better communication with those who care for our kids?
*What would be the benefit of letting go of control and trusting?

Moms Talk Autism, Parenting Autism, ADHD, Special Needs
01/10/22 • 49 min
You can see their Beginner's Guide to IEPs here.
Additionally, this is an Advocacy Toolkit, which is mentioned that Jean, Co-Host recommends to the families she mentors, along with acquainting themselves with Wright's Laws.
Top Tips:- To Advocate is to be curious and keep asking questions.
- It is up to the parent to "police" the system.
- Educating the parents is universal but it doesn't exist for everyone.
- It is important to be conscious of your mental health because this can serve as chronic aggravation.
- Eligibility is different from a diagnosis.
- What is medically necessary isn't educationally necessary.
- You don't have to agree to anything in the actual meeting. Take your days.
- Foster & Maintain relationships with your child's team.
- It is automatically, by design, a contentious relationship.
- Get to know your Procedural Safeguards: Designed to protect the rights of parents and their child with a disability, and at the same time, gives families and school systems several mechanisms by which to resolve disputes.
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, Parenting Autism, ADHD, Special Needs
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!

Grieving The Child You Thought You Would Have, Making Sense Of It All - With Jean Mayer, Brittney Crabtree, Shannon Korza
Moms Talk Autism, Parenting Autism, ADHD, Special Needs
11/08/21 • 53 min
Ever feel caregiver burnout? Ever feel like you are in a hamster wheel as a caregiver?
Listen to this convo.
Grief isn't linear; it's a wheel of adaptation.
Dr. Nancy Miller, psychologist and social worker, wrote Nobody's Perfect: Living + Growing with Children Who Have Special Needs.
In this book, she worked with four moms over five years and distilled their experiences into one book.
The model is derived from communication with the moms, experience of the working families, the writings of parents and professionals.
"Adaptation" kicks in when we feel robbed of our chance and our Child's chance for living an equal life.
There are four stages, and stick with us as we will dive into each. Think of them like four hemispheres, similar to a Venn diagram nature, constantly shape-shifting through your journey.
The 4 S's: Survival, Searching, Settling In, and Separating are very real and relevant to understanding what we may all be feeling, whether it's exclusively or simultaneously.
Advocacy is a muscle, and this is a journey about endurance.
Hot tips and takeaways from the conversation to ease the distress you as a parent would experience at any of the stages:
- Make time for yourselves, understand your feelings + create a support system.
- Honor yourself as well as validate your feelings.
- Always remain hopeful even when it feels hopeless.
All easier said than done; that is why we are here to offer the support we all have been longing for.
