We Support Moms on a Parenting Journey They Never Expected.
Hi, I'm Shannon.
I've felt the pain of not being good enough and asking "Why me?" I learned many lessons the hard way so you don't have to.
I went through years feeling lost and confused, trying to find my way and wondering most days how I would make it through another day.
With over 25 years of autism parenting experience, I help moms like us improve their lives every day and I can help you too.

I have known Shannon personally and professionally for many years. She is not only the mom of a son on the autism spectrum, she has been an extraordinarily strong advocate for the autism community for years.
I highly recommend that if you are raising a child on the spectrum, you add NYAAM to your support team.
You will be so glad you did.
