Episode Synopsis

On paper, respite care sounds great: someone steps in so you can take a breather. But when you're parenting a non-speaking autistic child with high support needs, the reality is often much more complicated. In this episode, we talk about the different types of respite, how to find providers, and what questions to ask if you’re thinking of bringing someone into your home. We also talk about what happens when it goes horribly wrong.
