The Unbreakable Boy: Behind the Book, the Movie, and the Reality

In this episode of Just Another Autism Podcast, Eileen Lamb talks with Scott LeRette—author of The Unbreakable Boy and father to Austin, who is autistic and lives with a rare connective tissue disorder. Scott opens up about the highs, lows, and unexpected beauty of raising a child with profound disabilities. From raw honesty about the hardest days to the joy Austin brings into every room, Scott shares what resilience really looks like when life doesn’t follow the script. They also talk about the process of turning his family’s story into a book and film, what the word “unbreakable” means to him now, and how faith and humor helped him through the chaos.
