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 autism and transitions—why even simple transitions can feel so overwhelming for kids on the autism spectrum and what you can do to support them. Whether it’s moving from one activity to another, leaving the house, or navigating bigger life changes, transitions often trigger stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. We share both personal experiences as autism parents and practical, real-life strategies to help make transitions easier, including how to use predictability, give more processing time, and support your child’s nervous system. If you’ve ever wondered why transitions are so hard for your child with autism—or how to reduce meltdowns and create smoother daily routines—this episode will help you better understand what’s really going on and how to respond with more confidence and compassion.Email us: unabridgedcoaching@gmail.com
