What does life look like when you’re raising two children on completely different ends of the autism spectrum?

In this episode, I sit down with Nemesia, a devoted mom of two, who shares her journey navigating autism with both a non-verbal son and a verbal daughter.

Nemesia opens up about the early signs, speech delays, regressions, and the long road to diagnosis. She shares what parenting with purpose looks like while managing daily challenges like sensory triggers, seizures, scripting, and adapting routines again and again.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or simply want to understand autism more deeply, this heartfelt conversation offers support, honesty, and hope from a mom who truly gets it.
