The #1 Podcast for Moms Raising Autistic Children

Real conversations, practical strategies, and hope for your autism parenting journey.

Hosted by Shannon Urquiola, founder of Not Your Average Autism Mom — a global community supporting moms raising children on the spectrum.

Each week, Shannon shares real-life stories, honest conversations, and practical strategies to help you navigate autism parenting with more confidence, calm, and connection.

You’ll hear about the things no one told you to expect — from behaviors and emotional regulation to IEPs, independence, and everything in between. Whether your child is newly diagnosed or already an adult, this podcast is your place to learn, breathe, and feel seen.

🎙️ Over 270 + Episodes.  New episodes every Thursday — listen or watch in audio and video format on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music/Audible, iHeartRadio, and more.
