🦩Living Without Pink : Mothering a Profoundly Autistic Child

In this deeply honest and emotional episode of Finding Your Pink, I sit down with Audrey Dore Geraghty, a mother navigating life with her profoundly autistic son.

Audrey shares the unspoken reality—of violence, fear, love, and exhaustion. Her son is non-verbal, highly aggressive, and requires full-time care. Every day is unpredictable. The system is broken. And society often doesn’t see her family at all.

She speaks candidly about the difference between profound autism and milder forms, the grief of lost expectations, and the isolation that comes from being unable to participate in everyday life.

Audrey doesn’t sugarcoat her story. Her pink, as she says, isn’t coming back. But in sharing her truth, she gives voice to the thousands of parents living a version of this reality—with love, resilience, and relentless advocacy.

This is an episode about the stories we don’t hear enough. About what it means to love fiercely, even when life feels unrecognisable.
