On this Mother's Day, we want to show our gratitude for all of
the moms, grandmothers and mother-figures in the autism community for
all you do to ensure your children have everything they need to reach
their full potential whatever that may look like.

In this edition of E-Speaks, you'll meet a 28-year-old mom on
the spectrum who juggles a full-time job, night and weekend graduate
school classes and the responsibilities of being a single mom to her
beautiful 6-year-old daughter, who also has autism. You'll also
hear other autistic moms share personal perspectives of motherhood on
the spectrum and how raising their children went a long way in helping
to understand themselves better.
