Autism Rewritten

Parenting a child with autism comes with a lot of questions. Does speech therapy really help? What about ABA therapy? How do you travel with an autistic child, survive restaurants, train a service dog, find the right providers, and figure out whether something is autism... or just plain old orneryism?

Welcome to Autism Rewritten, where Carrie “The Mom” shares what life is really like raising her autistic daughter, and Helen “The Aunt” asks a lot of questions. Sometimes very basic questions. 

Carrie talks openly about what's worked for their family, what hasn't, the therapies they've tried, the things they've done differently, and the things they've learned along the way. We'll chat about nonverbal autism, speech therapy, occupational therapy, ABA therapy, service dogs, traveling with an autistic child, everyday family life, adventures, and those moments nobody prepares you for.

No two autistic children are the same, and this isn't a podcast about telling you how to raise yours. It's one mom's experience raising one pretty amazing kid, with an aunt along for the ride who is perfectly willing to ask, "Wait... what does that mean?"

There will be opinions. There will be questions. There will probably be '80s and '90s references. And occasionally we'll wonder why we thought adding a podcast to our busy lives was a good idea.

This is autism in real life. The hard parts, the funny parts, the things that worked, the things that absolutely did not, and the wins worth celebrating.
