  • PDA and Grand-parenting a Child on the Spectrum
    Oct 18 2024

    The term PDA stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance and it’s a proposed disorder on the spectrum that involves an extreme resistance to everyday demands.


    I had never heard the term before until my friend Karen Dorsey mentioned some struggles with her grandson. As she shared her story, my eyes were opened and I began to understand my youngest daughter’s behaviors in a way I never considered before.


    If you have a child that continually resists demand and you may have chalked it up as defiance, you don’t want to miss this episode.

  • Autism Goes to the Movies: My 2 Favorite Movies on Autism and Why Everyone Needs to Watch Them
    Sep 29 2024

    I’m not a huge movie buff—but when I catch a film that moves me—especially when it centers around autism, I can’t help but recommend it. There is something about a story that causes you to drop your defenses and sneaks into the backdoor of your heart.


    In Episode 85, we share two autism films that everyone should watch and why, whether you’re parenting a child on the spectrum or not.

  • Burnout and Parenting a Child on the Spectrum
    Sep 13 2024

    As parents, it’s so easy to sacrifice our own mental health in order to care for the high needs of our kids on the spectrum.

    Our guest, Craig Holbrook, coined this life motto: “Boys live. Men sacrifice” as he cared for his 15-year-old daughter with Level 3 Autism. But that very motto drove him to burnout as he attempted to be everything to everyone.

    Listen in as Craig opens up his heart and shares transparently about the seasons of life autism has dragged him through and how he has learned to care for himself while continuing to be the best dad he can be to his two children.

    If you find yourself emotionally and physically exhausted as a parent, you don’t want to miss this episode!

God is good and so is this podcast! A+++

Beautifully done! As a Christian single mom getting my own daughter back from the foster care system, I found myself at a loss with her diagnosis of level 3 autism. Wondering why me God, my plans for our new life in disarray but these parents explain, they give hope. They pray with you and walk you through some of those confusing times and misunderstandings and questions. God always has a plan and this podcast is proof!
