Life as an autism parent is anything but typical, and in this episode, Shannon Urquiola keeps it real with the raw, honest, and often hilarious realities of what home life looks like when raising a child on the spectrum.

From locked pantries and late-night food raids to unexpected streaking and turning home security into a military operation, this episode dives deep into the ways autism transforms a household into something uniquely ours.

Shannon shares personal stories about her son, Jordan, and relatable experiences from other autism families. She reminds parents that while our homes may look different, they are filled with love, adaptation, and moments that make it all worth it.

If you've ever felt like your house runs on its own set of rules, this episode will remind you—you’re not alone. Tune in for a mix of laughter, connection, and encouragement as Shannon reminds you that YOU, Mama, are doing AMAZING at this MOM thing.
