Back-to-School with Autism

Back-to-school season can be full of mixed emotions for autism parents—relief, worry, hope, and sometimes grief. Even though our son isn’t in traditional school anymore, we’ve walked through many first days and know just how overwhelming this season can feel. In this episode, we share stories from our past, talk about common challenges autism families face during school transitions, and offer encouragement and practical tips to help you (and your child) start the year with more peace and confidence.
