If you’ve ever felt crushed by unsolicited advice, side-eyed at the grocery store, or overwhelmed by family dynamics, you’re not alone. As autism parents, boundaries can feel complicated, especially when the world doesn’t always understand our children.

In this episode of Living Inspired with Autism, I’m unpacking what boundaries really are (and what they are not) and why they’re essential to protecting your peace, your energy, and your relationships.

You’ll learn:

• How to set boundaries without guilt or ultimatums
• Why boundaries aren’t about controlling others but about caring for yourself
• Practical ways to communicate your limits with family, friends, and strangers
• How to stand strong when people don’t understand your child’s behaviors

Think of this as your permission slip to stop overexplaining, stop apologizing, and start feeling confident in the boundaries that protect your heart and your family.

Because the truth is: when you hold healthy boundaries, you model self-respect, not just for yourself, but for your autistic child too.
