Beyond Burnout: How Parents of Autistic & Dyspraxic Kids Can Reclaim Their Well-Being

Listen on: Apple│Spotify│YouTube

Parents of autistic and dyspraxic kids face some of the highest levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout—yet their well-being is often overlooked. In this episode of All Brains Grow, clinical psychologist Lea Chawki shares what research reveals about parental burnout and real self-care.

Key Takeaways:

✔️ Burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s the result of prolonged stress and emotional suppression.
✔️ Autistic & dyspraxic parents experience extreme stress, with autism parents facing the highest levels.
✔️ Not all self-care helps—passive coping (bottling up emotions, avoidance) worsens stress.
✔️ Mindset matters: Parents who reframe challenges have lower anxiety and better well-being.
✔️ Community is key—support networks significantly reduce parental stress.

🎧 Listen now to learn practical ways to break the burnout cycle and reclaim your well-being.
