Hi, I’m Julie
My son, Carson, was diagnosed with autism when he was three. But like so many women, it took me a long time to realize I might also be on the spectrum. I was finally identified at 44.
The Autistic Mom explores what it means to navigate motherhood, identity, and neurodiversity through the lens of radical acceptance. Thank you for joining me here.
My writing has appeared in The Washington Post, HuffPost, The Globe and Mail, Parents, Chatelaine, Today’s Parent and more. I’ve shared my story on CTV, CBC Radio, BBC, Global News, and SiriusXM. In 2024, I was a finalist for the CBC Nonfiction Prize. For more information, see juliemgreen.ca.
My memoir, Motherness — about generational autism, parenthood, and radical acceptance — is out now.
“A funny, unflinchingly honest, and deeply compassionate memoir about one woman’s experience of raising an autistic child while discovering she is also on the spectrum.”
