    Labeled and Loved: A Lifeline for Moms of Kids with Disabilities (S8E26)
    2025/08/13
    Parenting a child with disabilities often means putting your own needs last. But when you’re running on empty, burnout can take over and everyone feels the impact. In this episode of The Autism Dad Podcast, I talk with Dr. Regina Crone and Julie Hornok, co-founders of Labeled and Loved, an organization devoted to supporting moms raising kids with disabilities. Fresh off their appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Regina and Julie share their personal journeys, how burnout affects moms, and why community, connection, and self-care aren’t luxuries they’re essential for survival. Whether you’re navigating autism parenting, raising a child with ADHD, or managing complex medical needs, you’ll walk away from this episode feeling seen, understood, and supported. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The personal stories that inspired Regina and Julie to create Labeled and Loved The unique challenges and burnout risks for moms raising kids with disabilities How to rebuild community when isolation takes over The importance of celebrating small wins that others might not understand How Labeled and Loved retreats give moms a space to rest, connect, and recharge Tips for finding ongoing support through local and virtual “Sisterhood Circles” Why self-care is not selfish when you’re parenting a child with disabilities How to take the first brave step toward prioritizing your own wellbeing Learn More About Labeled and Loved: Website: https://labeledandloved.org Upcoming Retreat: October 10 - 12, Dallas, TX (Registration closes September 10) About Rob Gorski Rob Gorski is an autism parenting advocate, award-winning blogger, and host of The Autism Dad Podcast.

  • Autism and Water Safety: What Every Parent Needs to Know (S8E25)

    Autism and Water Safety: What Every Parent Needs to Know (S8E25)
    2025/08/07
    This week, we’re talking about something every autism parent needs to think about—but many don’t until it’s too late: water safety and wandering. If you’ve ever felt the panic of not knowing where your child went or struggled to keep them safe near water, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr. Molly O’Shea, a pediatrician with the American Academy of Pediatrics, autism mom, and the official pediatrician for Goldfish Swim School. We explore the very real risks around drowning in the autism community and what parents can do to keep their neurodivergent kids safe—starting as early as infancy. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why autistic children are at significantly higher risk of drowning The connection between wandering and sensory-driven curiosity How kids on the spectrum process water differently Why swim lessons need to start earlier than most parents realize How swim programs like Goldfish adapt to neurodivergent learners Why swimming builds more than safety—it builds confidence and cognitive development What parents can expect from a sensory-friendly swim program If you found this episode helpful, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Autism Dad Podcast, I open up about one of the darkest moments of my life—a time when the weight of burnout, single parenting, and undiagnosed ADHD nearly pushed me past the brink.
