Full Spectrum Parent: Christian Autism Support | Special Needs Parenting | Faith & Autism Resources

Marriage First.

Marriage is the foundation of a family. Everyday stressors such as work, bills, and kids puts a strain on our relationships—let alone a pandemic or an autism diagnosis. 

In episode 4, we share three practical tips we have implemented as a couple to invest in our marriage. Laugh along with us at the extremes we have had to take to carve out time alone, as we challenge you to do the same.

No one likes the word discipline, but as parents, we realize it’s necessary. 

In this episode, we address the Top 3 Struggles parents face when it comes to disciplining their kids—reminding listeners what is MOST important in our parenting journey. 

We even tackle the dreaded “S” word—spanking—and break down the verse in Proverbs that is often misquoted and highly misunderstood. 

In this episode, we tackle the age-old question: “What causes autism?” On a more personal note, we wrestle with the question, “What did I DO to cause my child to be autistic?”

With humor sprinkled in along the way, we then share with our audience the biggest question in our faith journey, “Did God cause my child to be autistic?”

In this episode, we share a little about our family and our journey. In 2012,  our oldest daughter was diagnosed with Level 3 Autism and it sent us into a tailspin. Four years later, we traveled the same highway, to the same development center, to receive the same bleak diagnosis for our son. We were angry at life, at God, and at each other. We candidly share how we processed this news differently and what God has taught us through it all.
