About this listen

 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.

  • Moms Talk Moms: Zombie Plans, Sandwich Fights & Mom Humor

    Moms Talk Moms: Zombie Plans, Sandwich Fights & Mom Humor
    Dec 22 2025

    In this episode of Moms Talk Autism, we let go of the heavy stuff and dive straight into the hilarious, totally unhinged conversations only close friends have. From “Who would go missing first?” to “Which one of us is getting arrested?” to a full-on zombie apocalypse strategy session, nothing is off-limits.
    We also tackle the really important debates—like the ultimate sandwich, questionable fashion choices, brand loyalty, and a police story involving a teenager and a fart (yes, really).

    It’s light, ridiculous, and the perfect peek into our friendship and the humor that keeps us going as moms.
