69. Rethinking the New Year with autism


Listen Later

Welcome to the Autism Parent Club Podcast!

Are you parenting a child with profound autism or navigating life with a non-verbal teen who requires 24/7 care? You’ve found your people.


We’re Chris and Becky—parents to an 18-year-old son diagnosed with Level 3 autism, sometimes referred to as severe or profound autism. Each week, we share real-life stories from our journey parenting a child with high support needs, including sensory challenges, communication barriers, meltdowns, medical visits, and meaningful milestones.


 In this episode:

This week we're recapping our holiday break and sharing what went right and what didn’t for our family during the holiday season with autism. We talk honestly about the realities of autism parenting during the holidays and how we’re approaching the new year without traditional resolutions. Becky shares a personal story about letting go of goal-setting and choosing a gentler approach, exploring what it could look like for 2026 to feel like a hug. This conversation is for autism parents who are looking for support, understanding, and a more sustainable way to move into the new year.

IMPORTANT: We want to take a moment to share an urgent need within the autism community. Lindy Davies is trying to find a kidney donor for her husband, Thomas. They have two sons, including an 8-year-old with Level 3 autism. As Lindy shared, “I cannot do this alone. I need him, Brandon needs him, but most importantly Grayson needs him.” Please consider visiting her Instagram to learn how you can help or share her story.
