Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which includes Asperger’s Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified [PDD-NOS], is a complex, lifelong developmental condition that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a person’s social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation.  The ASD can present differently in every child with this condition. It is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is often referred to as a “spectrum condition” that affects people differently and to varying degrees. While there is currently no known single cause of Autism, early diagnosis helps a person receive resources that can support the choices and opportunities needed to live fully. _________________ Host Information: Name: Dr. Catricia Website: www.drmomsageadvice.com Podcast:  The Dr. Mom Sage Advice Podcast Instagram:  @drmomsageadvice Facebook:  Thriving Single Moms Collective Sign up for our email list here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60b1076adf9dcd5c586bbb74 ___________________ If you enjoyed listening to this episode or any of the episodes from this podcast then please support the show by rating, subscribing and leaving a review.  For all my big time fans, don't forget to share with another mama friend who you want to see THRIVE in motherhood! __________________ Resources:  www.autismspeaks.org www.autismsociety.org

Rest is NOT a reward or some sort of badge for kicking life in the butt.  It is essential for us to survive. We don't earn rest, we DESERVE rest.
