We share a raw stretch of our severe autism journey: the camp that finally said yes, why patient volunteers sometimes trump credentials, and what it costs to hold your home together when your child unravels. Along the way, we ask for community help and outline what support should look like.
• subscriber‑only truth‑telling episodes and why we lock some content
• GoFundMe for Safer Lifestyles Respite communities and how sharing helps
• the “word accident” memory and self‑awareness moments
• finding safety at a special needs day camp after rejection
• why untrained, compassionate volunteers often succeed where pros don’t
• survival routines, timed “cookies,” and car‑ride de‑escalation
• violent escalations at home, property protection, and caregiver safety
• the grandparents’ intervention and the need for real training for parents
• the arcade story, limits, and humor as coping
• self‑injury patterns, deterrent ideas, and community requests
• interview policy, fees for self‑promoters, and listener‑driven topics
• preview of shifting family support and next stories
Please keep an eye out for my link to the GoFundMe that I started for the Safer Lifestyles Respite communities. I would love it if you would just share that link. You can always reach me at contact.parentingsevereautism@gmail.com. Send me a fan mail on BuzzSprout at PSA.buzzsprout.com.
