Mothering Autism: Navigating Grief, Marriage, and Community :: Carrie Cariello, Kate Swenson, and Adrian Wood [Ep 515]

Do you have a child with autism or neurodivergent tendencies? Do you have a friend with a child that needs support but you're not sure how to show up?

Today Carrie, Kate, and Adrian are here to share their deeply personal stories about their kids and how autism has shaped their families. The amazing thing is each of their experiences is so different- and each of them has approached this diagnosis uniquely. They co-wrote a book called Autism Out Loud that covers a huge variety of challenges. We barely scratched the surface but here are some things we covered…

The hidden, unexpected grief of special needs parenting
How raising a child with autism magnifies stress in marriages
Siblings and how autism affects their lives- the joys and sadness that come with a neurodivergent sibling and how to keep that communication open
What parents of autistic children really need from friends and family
It takes risk, invitation, and vulnerability to find your people and a community that can rally around and support you
