Will The Good Times Last?

What happens when your autistic child has a really good week… and then you're terrified it won't last? In this episode, we talk honestly about the emotional roller coaster of parenting a child with profound autism after an unexpectedly peaceful, connected, and regulated week with our non-speaking autistic son, Bridger. Along with sharing hope we also share the overanalyzing, the constant detective work around autism, GI issues, constipation, probiotics, medications, and behavior, and the fear that one hard day means you're back at square one. If you've ever found yourself asking, "What did we do differently?" after a good stretch, you'll be able to relate. A validating conversation for autism moms, autism dads, special needs parents, and caregivers who know that progress is rarely linear and that hope and uncertainty can exist at the same time.
