Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the Autism Parent Club Podcast!Are you parenting a child on the autism spectrum and often feel like no one truly understands your journey? You’ve found your people!Join Chris and Becky, parents to a profoundly autistic, non-verbal 17-year-old, as they share real stories from their life—covering everything from meltdowns to milestones, and everything in between. We get it, and we’re here for you.Finding the perfect gift for your autistic child can feel like an impossible task. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or even a small souvenir from a trip, choosing something they’ll truly enjoy isn’t always easy—especially when they have limited ways to express their preferences. We know the struggle firsthand, often defaulting to the same go-to items for our non-speaking son. But how do we know what really makes him feel special and loved? This week, we’re sharing our honest thoughts on gift-giving challenges, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and brainstorming ideas for our soon-to-be 18-year-old. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about gifts, connection, and celebrating our kids in a meaningful way.  Thank you for being here and tuning in!
