Moms Talk Autism Podcast — Kids & Family
Moms Talk Autism Podcast

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, ADHD & Diagnosis Down Under - A Global Perspective with Allison Bolson Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Shannon and Tash sit down with the incredible Allison Bolson—a mom of four (yes, four!) neurodiverse boys. Allison shares what it’s been like raising her crew in Australia, from the ups and downs of getting diagnoses to figuring out education plans that actually work for her kids.

They dive into the messy, beautiful reality of IEPs, how hard it can be to find the right support, and why open conversations about neurodiversity at home matter so much. Allison’s honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom will leave you feeling seen, supported, and maybe even a little less alone in your own parenting journey.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been walking this path for a while, this is one of those episodes that reminds you—we’re all in this together.

Almost-Teens, Fully Exhausted - Parenting Autistic Tweens Without Losing Yourself Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Tash, Shannon, and Brittney are diving into life with almost-teens—because puberty waits for no one. From navigating school systems and prepping for big educational changes, to decoding the daily dose of sass and side-eye, we're covering it all.

Let’s be real: parenting at this stage feels like trying to translate a foreign language… while blindfolded… on a rollercoaster. We don’t always get it right (understatement of the year), but we’re learning to give ourselves—and our kids—plenty of grace. Tune in as we laugh, vent, and figure it out together.

Moms Talk Moms - Laughter, Friendship, and a Little Chaos Jun 30, 2025

Show notes

This one is a little unhinged, mostly in a good way. We needed to break up the heavy and hard with a silly episode where we talk about anything and everything that is NOT autism. Buckle up and enjoy or skip this one if you’re not in the same space. Either way, thanks for being here.

Discussion Questions:

What movie star would portray you in the MTA Movie?
If you had another podcast, what would the subject and title be?
We are on a deserted island, who has what job and how do we survive?
If you went back to school, what would you want to study?
Best wedding you’ve been to or been a part of, planned, etc? Would you redo your wedding?

They’re back to chat and with a new book! Dr Yael Rothman and Dr. Katia Fredrikson are once again here with us to discuss our neurodivergent kids, finding the appropriate therapies and care for them, and how to talk to our kids about autism. What is autism? How do I explain such complex concepts to my child? Where do I even start? Ultimately, we want to think long-term for our kids' overall success, give them the tools to understand the world around them, and, most importantly, empower themselves.
