Daffy, by Andrea Moriarty
Laughter as Self-Care for Autism Moms with Very Little Time and No Interest in Exercise
Need a laugh? Andrea Moriarty knows you do. After three decades of juggling twins, autism, and the illusion of control, she finally hit pause—and discovered that laughter isn’t a luxury, it’s life support.
In Daffy: Laughter as Self-Care for Autism Moms with Very Little Time and No Interest in Exercise, Moriarty joins forces with a circle of friends—the Laughter Alliance—to share real stories of meltdowns, medical mayhem, and the moments that nearly broke them (and still might). This brutally honest, hysterically relatable book proves that humor can slay despair, dissolve shame, and restore joy.
Through irreverent truth-telling, life hacks, recipes, and journal prompts, Daffy invites every determined, tireless, or secretly overwhelmed mom to unlock the stress cycle, create camaraderie, and get serious about laughing.
