E27: Navigating through Grief on this Autism Journey


Listen Later

Bryce is a funny, mechanical, HAPPY little guy who was diagnosed with autism at age two and is now in Kindergarten. His pure joy makes this world a much better place!

In this episode, we talk about how Bryce's 6th birthday triggered some unexpected emotions and how we have navigated through the stages of grief more than once on this autism journey.

In our last episode (#26), we talked about how we had to make a quick, unexpected  decision to withdraw him from public school and begin homeschooling him. We talk about the transition in this episode. In addition to this change, Bryce also has begun therapies with new people which is a major transition in process. It's been a whirlwind of emotions since our last recording, but God has once again given us peace and covered our hurts with hope. We are in the stage of "acceptance" and will enjoy every moment that we have with our precious boy - spinning negatives into positives and avoiding "comparison", the thief of joy.

Our goal is to follow our calling and be Autism Ambassadors and help others understand our world a little more than they did before listening to the podcast. We also feel called to bring light to a community that has experienced dark days after the "diagnosis". (Luke 1:79)
