Welcome to the 200th episode of Not Your Average Autism Mom! In this special milestone episode, Shannon dives deep into what it means to not just survive, but thrive as a mom raising a child on the autism spectrum.

Shannon dives deep into a topic that resonates with many moms raising children on the autism spectrum—the longing for the "old" you, the person you were before autism entered your life. With compassion and understanding, Shannon explores the daily choice of acceptance and how to find strength and joy in this unplanned parenting journey.

Life can feel chaotic, overwhelming, and exhausting, but today Shannon shares how you can find balance, peace, and strength amidst the daily challenges. Through relatable scenarios and practical strategies, this episode offers encouragement and insights to help you navigate the overwhelming and isolating moments.

Discover why you might not be destined to return to your old self and how embracing the new you can be empowering and beneficial.
