Featured Questions & Answers
Trying to Let it Go
Dear Dr. B,
You mentioned something in your last column that’s been living in my head ever since—this idea of detaching from outcomes and attaching to what you can control, like unconditional love. Can you say more about what that actually looks like? I get it in theory, but how do we get there, especially with our chaotic life?
Sincerely, Dr. Trying to Let Go of Outcome
Beyond the Diagnosis
Dear Dr. B,
Our child just got diagnosed with autism. We’re full of questions. I can’t help thinking, what’s their prognosis? Can they be successful?
Sincerely, Dr. Hoping for the Best
Ditch the Shame
Dear Dr. B,
I’m a working doctor with a child with autism. How do you manage the mom guilt and grief? I feel bad about feeling that it’s hard and my sad moments; especially when I see my friends and family parenting and it’s so different from my experience. I feel shame for my cognitive disconnect because I love my little and want to be the amazing positive support all the time.

Life as a high-achieving mom raising an autistic child can feel like a constant balancing act career, caregiving, and trying to care for yourself somewhere in the middle. It’s a lot, and some days it can feel like there’s no pause button.
