Hey, amazing moms! In Episode 12 Nicki dives into the heart of finding joy in the everyday moments of raising autistic kids. This quick 10-minute episode is all about spotting those small, soul-filling moments of connection—whether it’s a high-five on the basketball court, a giggle during a bike ride, or a quiet moment in a blanket fort. Nicki shares personal stories about her son’s love for the outdoors and her daughter’s imaginative world, reminding us that joy often lives in the small stuff, not perfection.

In this heartfelt episode, Nicki dives into the art of noticing the silent signals our non-verbal autistic children send every day. Through a personal story about her son’s disrupted evening walk and the meltdown that followed, Nicki shares how she learned to decode his unspoken needs by following his lead. This episode is a reminder to slow down, stay curious, and honor the unique ways our kids communicate—even without words. Nicki also offers a moment of faith-based encouragement, referencing Galatians 6:9, and invites listeners to join her coaching sessions or the Walk With Me Mom Community Group for support.

Key Takeaways:

· Non-verbal autistic children communicate through routines, behaviors, and subtle cues.
