Description
Make sense of your relationship with your autistic mom—even if she’s never been diagnosed. Explore how sensory sensitivities, communication differences, and the pressures of parenting may have shaped your family dynamics. Through expert guidance and real-life stories, this book helps adult children better understand their neurodivergent mothers, honor their own experiences, and find a path forward.
If you grew up with an autistic mother, you may still be trying to understand her. When Your Mom Is Autistic helps you better understand your mom’s neurodivergence and strengthen your relationship—whether she has long identified as autistic, is newly diagnosed, or has never been diagnosed at all.
Inside, you’ll better understand your mom’s world and how autism shapes your relationship, while also advocating for yourself and honoring your own needs. Along with expert advice, you’ll hear from children of autistic mothers and mothers themselves, who share their experiences and suggestions for creating more mindful, authentic connections.
When Your Mom Is Autistic will help you build a caring connection with your mother based on acceptance, authenticity, and love.
