That’s exactly how Jessica Whalley felt growing up, long before she was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. In this heartfelt episode, Jessica opens up about her journey to self-discovery and what led her to write T he Autistic Mom , a memoir that’s as fluid and engaging as a novel but deeply personal and real. We talk about the challenges of navigating the world as a neurodivergent woman and why she isn’t searching for a “cure”—just the right resources to make life a little easier. Jessica also shares her experiences as a mother to Jude, her nonverbal son, and how she’s learned to advocate not only for herself but for him as well. From the power of therapy to the importance of community, this conversation is an honest, eye-opening look at what it means to embrace neurodiversity at any age.
