183. Navigating the Ripple Effect; Life Beyond the Diagnosis

In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast, host
Shannon Urquiola explores the concept of acceptance in the
context of parenting children on the autism spectrum.


She discusses how accepting your child's diagnosis changes the
trajectory of parenthood and reshapes the plans you once had.


Then she shares the concept of secondary losses - the unforeseen
shifts and changes that accompany your journey. From the loss of
certain milestones and expectations to the shift in social
circles and relationships, she shares the impact of these
secondary losses on your life.


Despite the challenges, you will find resilience, strength, and
joy in the unexpected twists and turns of this parenting journey
you weren't prepared for.


Join us as we navigate the complexities of parenthood, finding
joy amidst the highs and lows, and embracing the extraordinary in
the not-so-ordinary.
