Welcome to the Autism Parent Club Podcast!

Are you parenting a child with profound autism or navigating life with a non-verbal teen who requires 24/7 care? You’ve found your people.

We’re Chris and Becky—parents to an 18-year-old son diagnosed with Level 3 autism, sometimes referred to as severe or profound autism. Each week, we share real-life stories from our journey parenting a child with high support needs, including sensory challenges, communication barriers, meltdowns, medical visits, and meaningful milestones.

In this episode:

We talk about the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, which happened just minutes from our son’s autism center, and how events like this can impact children with autism. We explore why kids on the spectrum may be more sensitive to scary news, school shootings, and community trauma, and how parents can respond with support. You’ll hear practical ways to talk to your child—even if they have a lower level of understanding—along with strategies for keeping routines steady, offering reassurance, and helping them regulate their emotions. If you’ve ever wondered how to guide an autistic child through the fear and uncertainty that comes with violence in the world, this conversation will give you both comfort and tools you can use right away.

Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the podcast, this heartfelt episode is filled with real-life autism parenting insights, emotional resilience, and ways to get involved with our growing community.

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.

Welcome to the Autism Parent Club Podcast!

Are you parenting a child on the autism spectrum and often feel like no one truly understands your journey? You’ve found your people!

Join Chris and Becky, parents to a profoundly autistic, non-verbal 17-year-old, as they share real stories from their life—covering everything from meltdowns to milestones, and everything in between. We get it, and we’re here for you.

Taking a child of any age with profound autism to church can feel overwhelming. Sitting still, being reverent, and managing sensory needs in a worship setting isn’t always possible—and that can leave parents feeling isolated or discouraged. In this episode of the Autism Parent Club Podcast, we share our real-life experiences of navigating church with autism, the unique challenges families face, and the small victories that bring hope. You’ll hear practical tips for supporting your child, creative ideas for making church work for your family without guilt, and encouragement to keep showing up if you want to. Most of all, this conversation is about hope: reminding every parent that faith and belonging are possible, even when autism and church life look different than we expected.
