This week on The Autism Mom Coach, Im talking about the recent announcement linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autismand the harmful recommendation for moms to tough it out.
If youve ever blamed yourself for your childs autism
If youve felt judged for your parenting choices
If youre tired of hearing that moms are at fault
This episode is for you.
As autism moms, we are already toughing it out every single daynavigating therapies, schools, meltdowns, doctors, and the constant undercurrent of guilt and shame. The last thing we need is another message telling us were to blame.
Inside this episode, I share:
- Why blaming moms for autism is nothing new (hello, refrigerator mom theory).
- The impact these narratives have on our mental health.
- Why autism is not your faultand how to remind yourself of that truth.
- How to stop internalizing guilt and start having your own back.
Whether youre frustrated, angry, or just exhausted from toughing it out, this conversation will give you validation and support.
