Feeling like a failure as an autism mom can become the default when you are constantly measuring yourself against impossible standards. In this episode of The Autism Mom Coach, Lisa breaks down how those expectations get created, why they keep you feeling like you are always coming up short, and how to replace them with standards that actually make sense for the life you are living.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to catch the unrealistic “should” expectations that make every hard day feel like evidence you are doing something wrong.
  • How to set expectations around what you can actually control instead of your child’s behavior, progress, emotions, or outcomes.
  • How to make your expectations specific and achievable so you have something useful to work toward instead of another impossible standard to miss.


Autism parenting gives you plenty of opportunities to judge yourself. This episode gives you a better way to measure your effort, your progress, and the way you want to show up for your child.
