We Support Moms Raising Autistic Children on a Parenting Journey They Never Expected.
The guidance and support you need to navigate the unique challenges of parenting children on the spectrum.
- We understand the emotional rollercoaster that an autism diagnosis can bring—it can feel like your entire world has been turned upside down.
- If you feel uncertain, lost, or alone, I want you to know this is a path many brave parents walk and you can too!
- We help you build confidence, reduce stress, and embrace happiness on a parenting path you didn't plan.
If you’re battling feelings of overwhelm and frustration, that’s normal. With the right support, it is possible to live your life not consumed by loneliness, confusion, and always feeling like you are failing.
When you are Not Your Average Autism Mom, everything is better!

REGISTER NOWHi, 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.

The resources as a member go beyond how to handle autism. The friendships with other moms who have walked in your shoes. Being a resource to moms who are just beginning their journey.
Becoming Not Your Average Autism Mom is the best thing I've done since my son was diagnosed.
I am no longer alone.

My journey may look different from others, but we are all looking for our village, this is mine!

I am finally connected with other moms who understand this parenting journey because they have been in my shoes.
When you join, you will see, it is worth so much more than the membership fee.

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.
