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

237. The Gift of Struggle; Letting Kids Learn Without Rescue

Struggle isn’t something most moms want to see theirkids go through — but what if I told you that safe struggles are one of the greatest gifts you can give your child?

In this episode, I’m breaking down why stepping back(instead of swooping in) matters so much for kids on the spectrum.

You’ll also hear a few Jordan stories that show how these lessons play out in real life.

If you’ve been caught in rescue mode, this episode willencourage you to loosen your grip just enough to let your child learn, grow, and surprise you.

Real progress isn’t about perfection—it’s aboutpracticing real life, one small step at a time.

Tune in, breathe deep, and let’s keep building theirbright, independent futures together!
