Whether you are an autism professional or a parent to a child with autism, one thing is for certain: some days, life is hard. It’s very easy to build walls and forget to let them down, and it’s very easy to become so obsessed with “fixing” your child that you miss the small victories, and you ignore your own mental state. Julie Hornok, autism mother and award-winning author, is on a mission to uplift the weary mothers and caretakers around her and create autism support groups for autism moms.
Julie has known the feeling of failure, but she also knows that to remain hopeful and consistent with your child brings on amazing rewards; her own daughter is fully conversational, something that Julie was scared would never happen.
Julie is the author of the award-winning book, United in Autism. In her book she interviews multiple parents about their real life autism experiences, and how they overcame them, and became stronger for it. She is also the founder of the nonprofit organization United in Autism, where she connects mothers and encourages them to relax, make life-long friends, and inspires them to keep moving forward.
If you ever feel like you’re losing against autism, or you’re in need of some encouragement, then this is the interview for you. Not only is Julie inspiring, she also knows a thing or two about self-care, and how to stay on top of your own well-being. Because at the end of the day, for a child to reach their fullest potential, you must be at your best as well.
