Episode Summary:

In this episode of Faith for Autism Moms, we dive deep into a struggle nearly every Christian autism mom or mom raising a child with disabilities knows too well: being misunderstood, judged, or questioned for emotions rooted in an invisible mental load. Managing therapies, triggers, medical decisions, routines, safety plans, and sheer exhaustion can make your reactions feel overwhelming—but they are human, not “dramatic.”

Yet the world still expects you to explain yourself.

We break down Isaiah 26:20 in a fresh way—showing how God invites you to step away, close the door, and let Him handle storms that were never yours to face. You’ll see how Jesus modeled the same pattern of rest and retreat, and why taking space is not selfish… it’s sacred.

If you’re a Christian autism mom, a mom raising a child with disabilities, or a mom feeling misunderstood and overstimulated, this episode speaks directly to your heart. Learn how to protect your peace in a God-honoring, Biblical way and reclaim your spiritual strength.
