Aggression in children with autism and autism parent burnout are two of the hardest parts of parenting a child with special needs — and two of the least talked about. In this episode of the Autism Parent Club Podcast, we’re having an honest conversation about autistic child aggression, caregiver burnout, the emotional toll of autism parenting, and the thoughts parents are often too afraid to say out loud. If you’re living with aggressive behaviors, feeling exhausted as an autism parent, or wondering how this stress impacts your marriage and family, this episode will help you feel seen and understood. You can deeply love your child and still feel depleted — and you are not alone.
