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.

One of the worst pieces of news a mother can receive: your child has cancer. Our friend, Kara Ryska, knows how that feels, her family has lived and continues to live with that life changing diagnosis. We discuss the shift from one expectation for your family to a completely different frame of mind. We can change and grow and alter our perspectives AND we can thrive in our new life! Kara’s journey has shaped the work she does today: a life coach and community leader for other special needs moms. She also has an amazing podcast (we’ve been guests on there!)

Stem Cell Therapy with Dr. Eric Weiss May 26, 2025

Show notes

Today, Tash and Shannon sit down with Dr. Eric Weiss—a father, a physician, and a passionate advocate for innovation in autism care.

Dr. Weiss shares his deeply personal journey raising a child with autism and how it led him to shift from a career in plastic surgery to exploring emerging autism research. In this episode, we discuss the potential of stem cell therapy to address brain inflammation, success stories from his practice, and the challenges faced in gaining broader acceptance within the medical community.

As a podcast rooted in lived experience and intentional advocacy, we know conversations about evolving science—especially around topics like maternal health, inflammation, and treatment—can be layered and sensitive. These themes have long histories and complex impacts within the autism community.

Our goal is not to take a stance on specific approaches, but to hold space for curiosity and care. We remain grounded in the values that guide every episode:
• We reject cure culture and center the well-being of both autistic individuals and their caregivers.
• We believe in thoughtful inquiry—approached through a lens of inclusion, respect, and critical thought.
• And above all, we honor the uniqueness of every journey.

This episode may spark reflection, dialogue, or questions—and that’s something we welcome.

In solidarity ❤️
