Autism shut downs happen. Things get confusing, the mind muddles and then bam, all functions shut down for maybe a long period of time. The pressure is too much. Or on a smaller scale your child will fall asleep in the strangest places. It's a scary situation and if you don't know what's going on you are prone to many diagnosis errors and much heartache. Listen as Stacy and Anne begin to unpack this from a mom's perspective.

In this really raw and vulnerable talk, Anne and her husband of 30 years talk about the complexities that they had in their marriage as they tried to raise their special needs child. Marriage is hard under the best of circumstances. Raising special needs children is not for the faint of heart and unfortunately, nothing that anyone chooses. We get the kids we get and then we have to figure out how to raise them and sometimes it is not easy, especially when the answers are not available. Some sources say that there could be up to an 80% divorce rate among families of special needs children. Even though this statistic has been debunked and some say that special needs kids can help your marriage grow stronger, there are many complexities that lie behind this tender relationship. Join us as we unpack some of the issues that we experienced. We weathered the storm, but what matters is that you come out in a place of better health and support in the end.
