Teac...
Shannon and Brittney get to chat with their IRL friend today! Rachel shares her journey with her daughter, Audrey, who has a rare genetic disorder known as CASK. We discuss the challenges of navigating the diagnosis process, the impact of early intervention therapies, and the importance of finding the right educational fit for Audrey. Rachel is a member and regional leader of “We Are Brave Together”, the non-profit group that connects moms worldwide. Rachel’s work and passion highlight the significance of connecting with other parents and advocates, sharing valuable resources, and advice for those new to the special needs community.

Talking with Jeffe Boats, Autistic Author and Father
Today Tash & Shannon had the pleasure of speaking with Jeffe Boats, an autistic father and professor, who shares his journey of self-discovery and parenting an autistic son. We explore Jeffe's early life, the challenges of understanding autism, and the importance of representation in literature. Jeff discusses his debut novel, which features an autistic protagonist and emphasizes the need for diverse voices in storytelling. Jeffe also shares his perspective on parenting neurodiverse children with patience and understanding, highlighting the unique experiences and perspectives of being neurodiverse.
**Jeffe was kind enough to share a discount code with our listeners for his book on his website where you can get a SIGNED COPY for less than you can find it anywhere else! Use code "6MOMS" here! **

The Moms Talk Autism Podcast is for parents raising children with special needs.
We are four moms, all with autistic children and other neurodivergence.
Teaching a special needs child to navigate the world around them comes with challenges and struggles. We want to talk about those challenges openly with you and others. We discuss grief, school, family balance, siblings, therapies, social conversations, behaviors, delays, diagnosis advocation, and marriage.
We do not hold degrees in medicine or neuroscience, nor are we special education teachers, but we are experts in raising our kids and figuring out everything as we go.
Think of this podcast as a coffee shop chat with your closest girlfriends. We want to talk, raise awareness, and help each other thrive with our neurodivergent families in a neurotypical world.
