   111. Autism Parenting and Making Time for your Marriage

   Welcome to the Autism Parent Club Podcast! Are you parenting a child with autism and navigating the challenges of high support needs, communication barriers, challenging behaviors, medical concerns, or the uncertainty that comes with this journey? You’ve found your people. We’re Chris and Becky—parents to a 19-year-old son with Level 3 autism and very high support needs. Each week, we share real-life stories from our journey, the things we’re learning along the way, and honest conversations about the joys, challenges, uncertainty, and everything in between. In this episode: How do you make time for your marriage, friendships, and social life while raising a child with autism who needs significant support? In this episode of the Autism Parent Club Podcast, Becky and Chris share a recent experience attending a wedding together and talk about why getting out as a couple can be more complicated for autism parents. From finding trusted caregivers and arranging respite care to staying connected as a couple, they explore the importance of making room for fun, friendship, and experiences outside of caregiving. Autism parenting can make everyday activities and social outings more challenging, but parents are people, too. If you're raising a child with autism and wondering how to nurture your marriage while managing the demands of caregiving, this conversation offers encouragement to find opportunities for connection, enjoy life together, and remember that you're a couple as well as parents.

   110. Living in Survival Mode

   Welcome to the Autism Parent Club Podcast! Are you parenting a child with autism and navigating the challenges of high support needs, communication barriers, challenging behaviors, medical concerns, or the uncertainty that comes with this journey? You’ve found your people. We’re Chris and Becky—parents to a 19-year-old son with Level 3 autism and very high support needs. Each week, we share real-life stories from our journey, the things we’re learning along the way, and honest conversations about the joys, challenges, uncertainty, and everything in between. In this episode: In this episode, we share honest updates on life with our 19-year-old son with profound autism, including recent behavioral crises, navigating medical care and treatment decisions, and pursuing an AAC device to support his communication. We talk about the emotional roller coaster of feeling hopeful when things improve, only to have reality hit again when the hard parts of autism parenting are still there. Becky also shares what it's like to step away for a few days with another child while managing the realities of life at home. If you’re an autism parent who feels exhausted by the constant ups and downs, struggles with uncertainty, or wonders how to hold on to hope when progress isn’t linear, this conversation is a reminder that you can appreciate the good moments without pretending the hard ones don’t exist. Life with autism can be incredibly hard, and we don’t have to wait for everything to get easier before we’re allowed to enjoy our lives. We’re building something new!
