    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 what keeps autism parents up at night—and spoiler alert, it's not always your kiddo who struggles to sleep. While we do touch on the very real sleep struggles that can come with raising a child with autism, this conversation goes deeper into the mental and emotional load so many autism parents carry. From racing thoughts and parenting anxiety to worries about the future and the constant feeling of “am I doing this right?”, we share the kinds of stressful thoughts that can make it hard to rest even when our kids are finally asleep. We also talk about simple, supportive strategies that have helped us, like focusing on the next best step instead of trying to solve everything at once, and giving your brain a place to land by setting aside time to think through concerns later. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in overthinking as an autism parent, this episode will help you feel seen—and remind you that you’re not alone.

    In this episode:

    Anxiety in autistic individuals, especially non-speakers can be hard to recognize — especially when it shows up as meltdowns, rigidity, sleep struggles, or increased irritability. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about autism and anxiety, how to tell the difference between a meltdown and an anxiety spiral, and how to know when your child might need more support. We share our personal experience navigating anxiety in our own autistic son and what it’s been like to consider anxiety medication. If you’ve ever wondered whether your child’s behavior is sensory overload, autism, or anxiety — and how to make thoughtful decisions about treatment options — this conversation will help you feel less alone and more grounded.

    When Bridger was three, I asked his BCBA a question I wasn’t emotionally prepared to have answered: “Do you think he will ever be able to talk?” His response changed the way I understood communication forever.

    In this episode:

    In this episode of the Autism Parent Club Podcast, we talk about something many autism parents experience but don’t always say out loud: autism parenting is a moving target. Just when you solve one problem — whether it’s behavior, school struggles, medical issues, or regulation — you often find yourself facing the next layer. It doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means this journey is layered and ongoing. We share why big wins don’t always bring the relief you expect, how chronic stress impacts your nervous system, and practical ways to refill your emotional bank account so you’re not constantly running on empty. This conversation will help you celebrate progress while staying grounded in the reality that growth continues — and so do you.
