Disorderly Blondes Autism PODCASTAuthor: Disorderly Blondes
South Florida moms, Brenda and Kristi, candidly discuss MOTHERHOOD and AUTISM while balancing heels, cocktails, and meltdowns. They share the challenges and triumphs that define the parenting journey of their own special needs sons (autism spectrum disorder CHRNA7 genetic duplication). Together, they provide community support and a lifeline to parents of newly diagnosed children, teens, and adults. Guests bring essential professional information to educate and empower families. The blondes keep it light by coloring outside their tan lines and flipping off the PC police. Never a dull moment.

Send us a textThese autism moms have been nominated as “most likely to run away from home,” and they’re here to weigh in on the issues their constituents (aka their kids) care about most. From hot debates over the best paper towel sizes to the campaign for autism job market improvements and even a motion to impeach a Real Housewives cast member, no topic is off the ballot! So grab your voting stickers and cast your vote for DISORDERLY BLONDES—where every laugh counts!Listen here or on any major podcast platform. ABOUT USBefore our serendipitous meeting in school car line hell a decade ago we SoFla rubias and accidental autism moms had no idea we were living parallel vidas locas. Together, we’re kicking butt and taking names with a little help from sunshine, wine, and #framily time. Does our bleach weaken our wit? Over our tanned bodies!MEET KRISTIBlessed with blonde wisps at birth (now maintained at a cost undisclosed to her husband), Kristi’s mane role is mama to two additional golden-haired beauties- one who just so happens to have autism. Born in the 305, raised in the 954, and training boys to be men in the 561, Kristi has proven not even Dave Barry can chase her from a Florida state-of-mind. In her infinite amount of spare time (insert maniacal laugh) she pours what’s left of her Vitamin D induced energy into Puzzle Peace Now, a non-profit she founded in 2009. Finally, Kristi splits her ends between enjoying quality days in the sun with husband Tim and basking in the glow of her 16-year friendship with bestie Brenda.MEET BRENDACuban born, Miami & Hialeah raised, and current Broward County resident (but still 305 all day), Brenda is Dylan (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and Oliver’s (CHRNA7 duplication + Hypotonia + epilepsy + scoliosis) mami. In 2007, blogging about her life as a mom of two special needs kids as ASD QUEEN BEE was cheaper than therapy became a creative and therapeutic outlet. Six years later, she developed THE WHET PALETTE, a blog discussing her passion for food, wine, and travel. Brenda’s journey also includes an extensive background in interior design and dance. The perfect next step? Podcasting! Her colorful palette wouldn’t be complete without her husband Lawrence’s support and endless belly-laughs with the other rubia, Kristi.Support the show
