The Grit and Grind of Autism- Finding Light Along the Journey
Let’s be real — autism parenting is tough. It’s gritty, it’s raw, and it can feel unbelievably lonely.
Welcome to the space where we say the quiet parts out loud. We’re diving into the messy, emotional, unfiltered truth of raising a child with autism — the things most people are afraid to talk about. These are the conversations that need to happen.
If you’ve ever felt isolated, judged, exhausted, or like no one truly gets it — this is for you.
This journey isn’t easy, but there is light to be found — in connection, in truth, in resilience. Together, we’ll explore tools, share stories, and hold space for the hard stuff and the hope.
The Grit and Grind of Autism- Finding Light Along the Journey
Mom-to-Mom w/Delegate Michele Guyton - Why She Fights So Hard in Annapolis
Join me as I talk with the wonderful Delegate Michele Guyton about her journey as an autism mom and what ultimately led her to fight for autism families throughout the state of Maryland.
Facing the challenge of parenting three wonderful and complicated boys, forced Michele to become a fierce champion for her own family and their education. She co-founded a support group for families with disabilities and now chairs the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the National Tourette Association of America. All three of her boys have been successful in Maryland public schools and are pursuing their dreams.
Michele completed her B.A. in Psychology and Anthropology from Vanderbilt University, her joint M.A. in Women’s Studies and Psychology from Radcliffe College and Brandeis University and her Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Brandeis University. She looks forward to serving the community she loves by fighting for District 42B as fiercely as she has fought for her own family and others.
