Three mothers reflect on their experiences growing up as undiagnosed autistics, entering motherhood, and connecting with their children in a unique and powerful way.
They offer advice on overcoming the challenges of parenting when you are autistic, such as socializing with other parents or the sensory issues that arise from excessive contact. They also highlight the positives of parenting as an autistic parent of an autistic child, such as understanding the child's difficulties and the open-minded approach that results from not adhering to social norms.
