Refrigerator Moms

Refrigerator Moms is the podcast where we delve into the theory, practice, and trending opinions of behavioral interventions, treatments, parenting, and family dynamics from the perspective of two moms of autistic adults.

Our podcast’s name, Refrigerator Moms, harkens back to Dr. Bruno Bettelheim’s debunked theory from the 1950s and 1960s, attributing autism to maternal coldness and a lack of bonding. We reclaim this term with irony, challenging outdated beliefs and honoring the resilience of mothers who’ve faced unjust blame.

In addition to dissecting autism-related topics, we’re on a mission to bridge social media silos that sometimes isolate us from one another. We’re committed to fostering a supportive community where moms can share experiences and insights without judgment or isolation.
