In this episode of Autism for Badass Moms, Rashidah sits down with Dr. Alisha, a Board Certified Family Medicine Physician from Alabama, whose journey as a mother, physician, and advocate will leave you inspired.
Dr. Alisha shares her story of raising her 8-year-old son Langston, a former 23-week micro-preemie diagnosed with autism at age 2, who also has ADHD.
As both a doctor who has cared for autistic children and a mother raising her autistic son, Dr. Alisha offers a unique dual perspective filled with insight, challenges, and triumphs. From the early days of navigating Langston’s diagnosis to managing the guilt and emotions that come with it, Dr. Alisha opens up about her rollercoaster journey.
She also shares the struggles of being a working mom—juggling life as a single parent and now as part of a blended family—and how she found her strength and purpose through it all.
Dr. Alisha is more than just a mom and physician; she is a best-selling author, blogger, speaker, transformational coach, and the CEO of Miracles and MILEStones, LLC. Her mission is to provide support for NICU parents and parents of children with special needs, with a particular focus on working parents.
