Parenting in a Neurodivergent Household: A Mother’s Reflection

A personal reflection on parenting in a neurodivergent household, raising autistic teens while navigating motherhood, illness and emotional labour. Intro to my Motherhood in Motion series.

@carasutra From reading that I feel like you get what it's like to be autistic better than a lot of NT parents do.
@BernieDoesIt wow, thank you.
My husband is autistic, so are many friends and family. It's rare to meet anyone NT in my life these days! 😄
@carasutra We do tend to make friends with fellow autistics and pass our genes down, so when you meet one of us others often come along for the ride.
