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:

In this episode we talk with Phil and Shawnie Deutsch about their journey parenting a son with severe autism and the difficult decision to pursue residential placement in a therapeutic boarding school at age 17. This conversation explores the emotional reality of making high-stakes decisions for a child with autism, navigating uncertainty, and trusting yourself as a parent when there are no clear answers. If you’re an autism parent facing tough choices around care, safety, or long-term planning, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope. Be sure to follow Phil and Shawnie Deutsch on Facebook to continue being inspired by their journey.
