55. Traveling with Autism: How We Made a Family Wedding Work

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:

This week we’re sharing about our recent trip to a family wedding — and all the ups and downs that came with it. From the big decision of whether we should all go, to navigating the airport, managing tough moments, and finding creative ways to make the event work for our whole family, we take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like. In the end, the experience was challenging, beautiful, and absolutely worth it. If you're skeptical about traveling with your profoundly autistic child we'll show you what's possible!
