EP. 29 Firing Family

Parenting Severe Autism

Are you ready to be part of a journey that is filled with family turmoil, vacation disaster, and the harsh reality of parenting a child with severe autism? This is a candid recount of our recent family vacation that transformed from a much-needed break into an exhausting ordeal that tested our patience and resilience. We grappled with the disappointing behavior of a family member whose unpreparedness and lack of support turned our exciting getaway into a nightmare. We had to deal with a non-functioning camper and the surprise of missing pre-prepared food, all while trying to keep our spirits up for our son.
In this episode, not only do we share the emotional toll this trip took on us, but also the subsequent family conflicts that unfolded. The rude behavior and lack of respect from the family member invited unnecessary tension, and it's something we refuse to tolerate. Finally, we share some advice for parents navigating the school system for their autistic child. This episode is a stark reminder that amidst the tough challenges of parenting and family life, the importance of self-care and independence should never be overlooked.
