Hey y'all! Welcome back to the Mindful Mama Podcast. I'm your host, Sarah, and today we're diving into a topic that's close to my heart as a mom of five neurodivergent kids. We're talking about whether autistic young adults should vote. It's a conversation filled with love, concern, and a bit of humor as we navigate these waters together.

In This Episode:

• Civic Responsibility or Overwhelm? We explore the delicate balance of encouraging our autistic teens to participate in voting while respecting their readiness and comfort levels.
• Heartfelt Decisions: I share our family's journey in deciding what's best for our boys. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of deep breaths and honest conversations.
• Personal Stories & Insights: From navigating ballots to understanding civic duties, I open up about the challenges and joys of raising young adults who are still finding their way in the world.

Join the Conversation:Whether you're a parent of young kids or teens, this episode offers insights and support for those facing similar decisions. Remember, it's all about finding what feels right for your family. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's chat about these important milestones in our kids' lives.
