The Moms Talk Autism Podcast is for parents raising children with special needs. We are four moms, all with autistic children and other neurodivergence. Teaching a special needs child to navigate the world around them comes with challenges and struggles. We want to talk about those challenges openly with you and others. We discuss grief, school, family balance, siblings, therapies, social conversations, behaviors, delays, diagnosis advocation, and marriage. We do not hold degrees in medicine or neuroscience, nor are we special education teachers, but we are experts in raising our kids and figuring out everything as we go. Think of this podcast as a coffee shop chat with your closest girlfriends. We want to talk, raise awareness, and help each other thrive with our neurodivergent families in a neurotypical world.

  • Autism Parenting and Inclusion: Why Inclusion Isn’t Always Belonging
    Mar 2 2026

    In this episode, we’re unpacking the difference between inclusion and true belonging — and why they’re not always the same. We talk about the pressure to include at all costs, the reality of navigating social situations with our kids, and why sometimes thoughtful exclusion is actually protective, not harmful.

    We also get honest about autonomy, regulation, and the constant trial-and-error of finding what actually works as our kids grow. This conversation is about making intentional choices, building real community, and giving yourself permission to reevaluate along the way — because belonging should feel safe, not forced.

  • Grandparenting Looks Different When Autism is Part of the Story
    Feb 23 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with school principal and autism grandma, Jennifer Kaufman, to talk about what it’s really like when your grandchild is diagnosed — and how that shifts expectations, roles, and relationships overnight.

    We talk about:

    • The emotional pivot from “traditional grandparent” to active support system


    • How to give (and receive) advice without blowing up family dynamics


    • The awkward-but-necessary financial conversations


    • Why empathy matters so much in schools — and what educators need to understand


    • Water safety and why it cannot be an afterthought


    • The pressure grandparents sometimes feel to “fix” things


    • And the reminder that parenting (and grandparenting) is not a competition

    This conversation is honest about the tension that can show up in families — especially when everyone loves the child but doesn’t always agree on how to help.

    Whether you’re a grandparent trying to support your family, or a parent trying to figure out how to include extended family in your child’s autism journey, this episode gives practical insight and a whole lot of grace.

    Because it truly takes a village — but villages need communication.

  • Disrupting the Overwhelm Cycle (When You’re Parenting Neurodivergent Kids)
    Feb 16 2026

    Today we’re talking about the overwhelm cycle — how it starts, why it keeps looping, and what it actually looks like when you’re parenting neurodivergent kids, juggling puberty, appointments, social stuff, marriage, work, hormones, and your own identity.

    We also talk about what disrupting the overwhelm cycle actually means. Not eliminating stress. Not becoming a zen monk. But noticing the pattern and interrupting it before it takes you out.

    Because overwhelm isn’t just about too much on your plate.
    It’s about carrying too much alone.

    If you’re tired, stretched thin, and wondering how to stop living in reaction mode — you’re not crazy. You’re probably just stuck in the cycle.

    Let’s disrupt it.

I’m really benefiting from the wisdom and experience of this fellowship of elite moms. Finding encouragement and understanding for my own hard journey with nonverbal autistic son. They examine the different facets of life with autism, and how it impacts everyone in the family. Thank you for doing this phenomenal podcast. You shed light into the darkness

Thoughtful podcast

What a great podcast! I so wish this had been around when my kids were younger and our family felt so isolated dealing with two kids on the spectrum. Listening to these ladies will not only help support autism families emotionally and mentally, but also in regards to best practices and the importance of individuality in treatment. Their conversations will make you laugh, cry, learn and feel understood right along with them - I'm so thankful for this podcast!

An absolutely fantastic resource

These girls are the best! I’m a single mom with a 3 year old daughter that recently got an autism diagnosis.

I appreciate all four of your personalities and you all bring something different to the conversation! And you’re all hilarious. I’m so glad I found this podcast when I did as it’s helped me navigate this journey alone.

Thank you 4 for taking time out of your busy lives to help others. I want you to know it’s truly made a big difference in my life! ❤️
