In this episode of “Unapologetically Anxious Me,” host Jo opens up about the challenges of raising her 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter, both on the autism spectrum, along with her husband who is also on the spectrum. Living in rural Minnesota without nearby family or friends, Jo shares the importance of state-provided PCA services, the emotional toll of losing their PCA, and the stigma of seeking help.
Jo also discusses her own mental health struggles and the isolation of being a Black family in a predominantly white community. Tune in for a heartfelt and honest look at the complexities of autism parenting, the need for support, and finding strength in vulnerability.
