What 2025 Taught Us About Autism Parenting

As the new year begins, we’re taking time to reflect on what 2025 taught us about autism parenting. This conversation is about the expectations we had to release and the small shifts that made the biggest difference for our family. We talk honestly about what helped and what didn't, and how parenting a child with autism continues to shape us in unexpected ways. If you’re stepping into the new year feeling tired, behind, or unsure, this episode is a gentle reminder that growth doesn’t always look the way we expect—and you’re not alone.

IMPORTANT:We want to take a moment to share an urgent need within the autism community. Lindy Davies is trying to find a kidney donor for her husband, Thomas. They have two sons, including an 8-year-old with Level 3 autism. As Lindy shared, “I cannot do this alone. I need him, Brandon needs him, but most importantly Grayson needs him.” Please consider visiting her Instagram to learn how you can help or share her story.
