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’re talking about the things autism parents do that other people might find weird — but other special needs parents completely understand. From sensory routines and public survival strategies to preferred items, sleep struggles, regulation, food issues, and becoming unexpectedly invested in bowel movements, we’re sharing the funny, exhausting, relatable realities of parenting autistic children. Whether you’re parenting a non-speaking child, navigating profound autism, managing autism behaviors, or simply trying to survive daily life as an autism parent, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone and that the things you do to support your child and family make sense.Email us: unabridgedcoaching@gmail.com
