In this episode of Beyond the Spectrum - Conversations with Parents on Autism and Beyond, Clint chats with Lauren and Janine — two mums who migrated to Australia and are raising children with level 2 autism and ADHD.
They unpack:
- The reality of masking in girls and boys - and why it delays diagnosis
- Early supports that moved the needle - ECDP, Bush Kids, OT, speech, small schools
- Advocating in kindy and school - when to push, when to change environments
- Age-appropriate ways to talk to kids about diagnosis and self-advocacy
- The cost - financial strain, sibling dynamics, isolation, and nervous system overload
- Self-care that actually happens - micro-breaks at home, parent coaching, therapy assistants
- Building your ASD village - Facebook groups, local parents, therapists, and honest friendships
If you’re at the start of the journey or somewhere in the messy middle, this convo is full of practical tips, honest emotions, and the reminder to trust your gut - and find your people.
