    89. Someone Goes Alone

    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 talk honestly about one of the hidden realities of parenting a child with profound autism: one parent staying home. From missing family events and taking turns attending baseball games to sitting alone at church on Mother’s Day, they share the emotional impact autism can have on marriage, family experiences, caregiving, and everyday life. This episode explores the invisible grief, isolation, burnout, and divided family dynamics many autism parents experience while raising children with severe autism, profound autism, Level 3 autism, intellectual disability, and high support needs. If you are an autism mom or autism parent feeling overwhelmed, alone, or exhausted by the constant balancing act of caregiving, this conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and less alone.Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠unabridgedcoaching@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unabridged Life Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@autism_unabridged⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Download my FREE guide: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠5 Simple Steps to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — your lifeline for regaining calm and clarity as an autism mom.

One year later, we talk about what has actually happened since then, including updates on autism research, environmental factor discussions, genetics, rising autism prevalence, and the growing divide in how autism is discussed publicly. We also share the emotional side of waiting for answers as autism parents — the cycle of hope, disappointment, advocacy, and trying not to lose yourself in the process.

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 joining the growing conversation around “splitting the spectrum” and what it really means for families raising children with different levels of autism. For a long time, we assumed that if something was labeled as an autism resource, it applied to our son—but over time, I realized that parenting a child with profound autism, significant support needs, and limited communication can look very different from other experiences on the spectrum. In this honest and nuanced conversation, we explore both sides of the debate: why some advocate for keeping autism under one unified umbrella, and why others believe terms like “profound autism” are necessary for access to appropriate services, support, and understanding. If you’ve ever felt like typical autism advice doesn’t quite fit your reality, this episode will help you feel seen, validated, and less alone.Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠unabridgedcoaching@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unabridged Life Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@autism_unabridged⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Download my FREE guide: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠5 Simple Steps to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — your lifeline for regaining calm and clarity as an autism mom.

After connecting with so many autism moms who deeply relate but struggle to prioritize their own support, this conversation is an honest look at the weight of autism parenting, the isolation it can bring, and the importance of finding ways to care for yourself too.
