44 | Feeling Misunderstood as a Christian Autism Mom? How God Sees You When Others Don’t Validate You

Why do Christian autism moms so often feel unseen, dismissed, or emotionally invalidated—even by the people closest to them? How does constant misunderstanding impact your stress, mental health, and faith? And what changes when you stop seeking validation from others and start seeking it from God?

In this episode, Ash speaks directly to Christian autism moms and moms raising children with disabilities who are emotionally exhausted from explaining their reality to people who don’t understand. If you’ve ever shared your struggles only to hear “all kids do that” or felt minimized for how hard this life truly is, this message is for you.

Using Psalm 73:23–25, we explore how God sees every unseen sacrifice, every moment of emotional labor, and every quiet act of love you carry as a caregiver. You’ll also learn the science behind emotional invalidation, how it dysregulates the nervous system, and why seeking human validation often leaves you feeling more drained, anxious, and alone.

Most importantly, this episode invites you to experience the peace, confidence, and inner stability that comes from resting in God’s affirmation instead of human approval. You’ll walk away with practical, faith-based steps to stop chasing validation, feel spiritually grounded, and remember that as a Christian autism mom or a mom raising a child with disabilities, you are deeply known and never abandoned by God.

• Autism moms who feel misunderstood or dismissed
