Parenting Severe Autism

Send us a text

After years of navigating the unique challenges of raising a child with severe autism, I've amassed a treasure trove of stories and insights that I’m excited to share with you. This episode takes you on a deeply personal journey through my life as Jacob’s mom, highlighting the power of community and family in shaping his world. You'll hear about the creative ways we've fostered understanding and acceptance in his school, thanks in part to my husband’s proactive outreach in Wisconsin.
Parenting Jacob is a delicate dance of nurturing his individuality while ensuring our family dynamics remain supportive. I recount poignant moments, like the choice to prioritize Jacob's self-esteem over a less-than-flattering school picture, and the emotional aftermath of his transitions to new schools. These stories underscore the importance of routine and personal expression for Jacob, and reveal the profound impact of small adjustments and family support on his well-being.
My father plays a starring role in this narrative, serving as a pillar of advocacy and support for Jacob. His involvement ranges from medical oversight to educational advocacy, demonstrating the critical role of a family in navigating autism. As we explore these experiences, I also touch on the intriguing effect of supermoons on Jacob's behavior, offering a unique perspective for fellow parents. Stay tuned for an upcoming interview with my spouse, where we’ll dive deeper into our family's journey and strategies.
