This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children, but has evolved, and we have listeners across the world who are relatives of someone with autism, special education teachers, and other professionals. My son Jordan was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old, now 29. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week, for 20 minutes or less (most episodes), I discuss topics that directly impact your life on this unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com

235. Autism, Bullying, and the Fear That Keeps Us Up at Night

Bullying is a fear every parent carries — but for thoseof us raising children on the autism spectrum, there’s a deeper layer. What if it happens… and they can’t tell us?

In this episode, I’m talking about why our kids are morevulnerable to bullying, the signs you might see (especially if your child is non-speaking, minimally verbal, or non-communicative), and how to move from that gut-punch emotional reaction into clear, confident action.

We’ll cover:

  • Why autistic children are more likely to be targeted
  • The signs that something might be happening —even when they can't tell you
  • The role that the desire for friendships plays in bullying risk
  • How to document, report, and advocate effectively
  • Strategies for prevention, self-advocacy, and building confidence

If this is one of your biggest fears — I see you. AndI’m here to help you protect your child and give you the tools to act, even in the face of the unknown.

Tune in for actionable advice and heartfelt encouragement, because you are not alone on this journey!
