Moms Unpacking Autism, Ep 6, Mom Friends

Raising an ASD kid can lead to great loneliness for the moms. Many give up their job, their career and stay home full time with a child that may have too many challenges to take out of the house. Are you bound by your routine and all of the needs your child has? Moms of ASD kids also struggle with shame, blame and others not understanding their child. Perhaps their child doesn't get invited to the parties and thus neither do you because people are uncomfortable with the unpredictable behavior your special needs child exhibits. There are just so many reasons to experience isolation.

But moms of special needs kids need friends as much as every other mom, if not more! We need people who "get" us and our kid. We need to go out and let our hair down with our girlfriends! Join Stacy and Anne as they unpack this topic today.
