Every parent's journey comes with its unique milestones and hurdles, but when you're raising a child on the autism spectrum, those experiences can redefine the very essence of resilience and discovery.
Join me as I sit down with Lynne, the Awesomism Mom, who opens up about the rollercoaster ride parenting her son Peyton has been.
From recognizing the early signs of autism to the evolution of "Awesomism," Lynne's story is one of unwavering love, adaptation, and the pursuit of a life where her son's abilities are not just acknowledged but celebrated.
The conversation takes a hopeful turn as we explore the groundbreaking strides of Team Awesomism, the virtual academy Lynne pioneered to champion the cause of autistic adults.
The academy is more than a learning platform; it's a beacon of empowerment, illuminating paths to essential life skills, employment, and independence.
Lynne shares how Peyton's unique learning journey inspired the academy's ethos, and we delve into their mission to equip these adults for a world that often overlooks their potential.
As we wrap up our heartfelt dialogue, we confront the broader issues that touch the lives of those on the autism spectrum, such as the pressing concern of housing.
Lynne's activism in advocating for appropriate living solutions for autistic adults paints a vivid picture of the challenges and the need for systemic change.
Our discussion serves as a clarion call to embrace a "Why Not Me" mindset, to not just listen but to join the fight for awareness, acceptance, and real-world solutions that uplift and integrate the autistic community into every facet of society.

Send us a text Judge Sonny Bailey shares how she created the nation's only court dedicated to helping autistic youth stay out of the criminal justice system.
