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:

Parenting a child with autism can feel like you finally solve one challenge—only to have another take its place. In this episode, we share a raw, real-life story of physical aggression and what it felt like in the moment, along with the emotional aftermath of moving through it. We also talk about the common but rarely discussed struggles many families face—like communication barriers, behavior challenges, and constant overwhelm—and reflect on insights from the book Upward Bound as we consider what our non-speaking son may be thinking and experiencing. After connecting with so many autism moms who deeply relate but struggle to prioritize their own support, this conversation is an honest look at the weight of autism parenting, the isolation it can bring, and the importance of finding ways to care for yourself too.
