The Autism Guessing Game

Being an autism parent can feel like living inside a constant guessing game. In this episode, we share our personal story of navigating two tough months when our son was stuck in an aggressive, unpredictable funk — and how, after trying everything from sensory supports to medication tweaks and routine changes, he suddenly came out of it. The mystery? We still don’t know what worked. Now, just as his mood has lifted, we’re facing a new challenge — a major toileting regression. This honest conversation is for every autism mom or dad who’s ever felt like they’re doing endless trial and error, just hoping to find what helps. We talk about the emotional roller coaster of autism parenting, the pressure to “figure it out,” and why sometimes doing your best really is enough.

Whether you're at the beginning of your autism parenting journey or deep in the trenches, this podcast is here to offer you support, solidarity, and hope. Come sit with us.
