Parenting on the Spectrum with Erin Martz
Show Notes

Autism is a wide spectrum, and the more conversation we have the more inclusive we can be. At least that's my hope with this episode! 

Erin from @Motherhoods_Beautiful_Chaos_ joins me to talk about parenting a child on the autism spectrum. Her oldest son, Carter, was diagnosed at 2.5 and she shares her story about the fight it took to get him tested and their journey together ever since.
 
Episode Highlights:

  • Finding a provider that trusts your gut
  • The lonely side of neurodivergent children
  • The heavy weight put on moms following a diagnosis
  • "Invisible Disabilities" and why we need to show grace

Let's teach our kids to be KIND with all kinds of kinds. There's some excellent insight in this episode, can't wait for you to listen!

Erin Martz is the proud Mama to 3 boys: ages 7, 4, and 9 months. She's a stay-at-home mom, living in Michigan and running her insightful and encouraging Instagram account,  motherhoods_beautiful_chaos_
