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.
