A Compassionate Guide to Autism Parenting
Free Yourself from Stress & Overwhelm, Find Joy, and Help Your Child Thrive
From Brigitte and Joseph Shipman
Hi, I’m Brigitte Shipman—speaker, author, and host of the Mother’s Guide Through Autism podcast.
Drawing from my own journey raising my autistic son, I help parents move from overwhelm to empowerment with greater understanding, resilience, and self-compassion. Through my talks, books, and community, I share real stories and practical insights that inspire healing, connection, and hope for families—and for anyone navigating life’s unexpected challenges.
