In this fiery, deeply personal episode, Michelle tackles a growing trend in the autism parenting community: the rise of labels like “profound autism” and the quiet acceptance of helplessness that often comes with them.

Sparked by a viral reel of a crying child using his AAC device to say “I’m sad,” Michelle shares why she doesn’t see tragedy — she sees potential. She challenges the narrative that emotional expression from non-speaking children is mysterious or unreachable, and breaks down how belief, curiosity, and consistency can change everything.

If you’ve ever felt stuck.
If you’ve ever felt like giving up.
If you’ve been told, “this is just how it is”...

This episode is your reminder:
Your child is not their label.
You are not powerless.
And this is not where your story ends.

In Episode 55 of the Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast, Michelle tackles one of the hardest conversations yet: the blame game around autism.

With the recent announcement linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism, many parents are left reeling with guilt, shame, and painful “what ifs.” Michelle shares her own raw story—Tylenol during pregnancy, vaccines, even doctors blaming her weight—and the moment she realized: you can’t unring the bell.

What matters is not what caused autism, but what we do today to help our kids. This episode is about shifting from guilt to action, from “what if” to “what’s next,” and focusing on teaching life-changing skills like potty training, communication, and independence.

🎧 Tune in now to get grounded, find hope, and remember that your child’s future isn’t determined by the past—it’s built by what you do today.

What if you were only one step away from potty training success, but your brain was telling you to quit?

In Episode 54 of the Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast, Michelle shares a powerful success story of a grandmother who nearly gave up when potty training her grandson with autism felt impossible. Pee training came quickly, but poop training turned into weeks of frustration, daycare accidents, and moments of doubt.

Through coaching, mindset shifts, and a customized strategy, everything changed—and now he’s fully potty trained.

This episode is about more than just potty training. It’s about the fight every autism parent faces between quitting when it feels too hard versus pushing through to the win that’s waiting on the other side.

🎧 Listen in to hear how setbacks turn into breakthroughs, and why the finish line is often closer than you think.
