Sharing is caring!

Pride is an interesting word, isn’t it? We can be proud of a person or proud of a thing. We can be proud of values. For me? I am proud to be a mom and moreover, I am proud to be an autism mom. It’s a role that I wholeheartedly embrace- being a mother who happens to be autistic. And being a mother of an autistic individual. 

My Favorite Autism Mom Quotes

Now, these quotes aren’t just for moms of autistic children, of course. But I found them to be particularly inspiring and encouraging. I hope that you will find the same.

Proud Autism Mom Printables

I have made many printables, usually of the educational kind and sometimes of the wall-art variety. For example, the In This House We Do Autism – it’s one of my favorites. I have also included these quotes and designs in my Autism Mom Planner but wanted to separate them out as well.

Why I am Proud to Be an Autism Mom

I get it, of course, that there is going to be controversy over the term “autism mom” — there’s always going to be a divide as to whether or not moms who are not actually autistic can or should use this term. I’ll weigh in on this in another post, but for now? I will continue to use the term. 

Because, for me, it is representative of who I am. It’s part of who I am.

If you’re feeling a bit underappreciated as a mom, I get it. Sometimes it seems like the work that we do just isn’t acknowledged and it sucks. As moms, whether we are stay at home, work at home, or work outside of the home; we do a lot. We tend to wear many hats in addition to our primary hat as mom. And that applies whether we are a single moms, married moms, divorced moms, etc. Moms are very busy people. And more often than not, the work that we do on an every day basis? It may not seem like we’re doing enough. It may seem, to others, that we simply aren’t doing a lot. But in reality? Yes, we are. We are doing…

Creating a family budget may seem like an overwhelming thought. But, it is possible so long as you keep your financial goals in mind. And take baby steps.

But if the idea of living within your budget gives you anxiety, give yourself a little breathing room at the beginning and gradually work your way into your budget.

As a parent of an autistic individual and as a parent of a highly sensitive and strong willed child, I have my fair share of parenting battles and power struggles. I’ve learned, of course, to pick my battles- especially when it comes to the strong-willed child. As we have gone through an ungrateful phase with her, I often find myself at the end of my patience. Add in her strong-willed personality? I start to question my parenting abilities.  There are certainly days that I’ve wanted to curl up into a ball or just call it quits on this whole parenting gig. I can’t, of course, but sometimes – it’s nice to think about. And there is nothing wrong with that. I refuse to feel ashamed…

I’m not perfect. I have a slew of mental health issues. Most days I can manage. But there was a time in my life that I hit rock bottom.  Depression in neurodivergent moms is more common than you may realize. And, in fact, it wasn’t until I realized my own neurodivergence as an autistic and ADHD adult, just how prone I was to autism mom depression. And you never know when one of those moms is right next door. Sometimes we are just too overwhelmed to take that first step and reach out. Sometimes we are drowning in the every day chaos of our lives. Sometimes we are so overwhelmed with life that we just can’t take a minute to step back. I know because…
