Messages of love and reality.

Mothers of autistic children are often remarkable individuals who go above and beyond to ensure their kids have the fulfilling lives they deserve, all while navigating a world that is still adapting to their children’s unique needs. As an autistic mother who works with autistic youth as a Speech Language Pathologist, I can personally attest to the unwavering love, dedication, and relentless advocacy these mothers embody.

Reflecting on my own experiences, I remember countless times when my mother provided me with a sense of calm during overwhelming social interactions. She would reassure me about my social skills, guiding me with practical advice that sometimes required her to repeat herself multiple times for me to fully grasp. Her patience and support were my anchors.

To gather more insights, I reached out to various autistic individuals and advocates on social media, asking them what they would like to convey to their mothers this Mother’s Day. Here are their heartfelt messages.
