Parenting Autism
Your hosts are Chris and Sandy Colter, the parents of Bryce, who share their autism journey with stories about their nine year old son who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at age two. The podcast is designed to connect with families who have been touched by autism and people who want to learn more about their world. You'll learn all about how they deal with day to day challenges and how you might apply it to your own life. It also sheds light on the "Mommy and Daddy" perspectives of parenting on the autism spectrum. Find their podcast on all of the popular platforms including Spotify, Apple iTunes, Google, Audible, Castbox, and Podbean. Also, follow their Facebook and Instagram pages. Their website (www.parentingautismshow.com) includes helpful resources on a variety of topics.

E110: The Foreward from our Book + A Boomerang Behavior
In this episode, we read the Foreword from our new book "Parenting Autism: The Early Years" which is in the final stages of being published. Our goal is to have it available to purchase on Amazon when we celebrate Bryce's 10th birthday - October 5, 2023.
We also chat about an trigger word from the past that resurfaced this past week and caused a new and somewhat disturbing self injurious behavior! We are working hard with Bryce's team to help him get past these self inflictions by speaking up for himself.
Bryce wanted to come onto the podcast to share with the listeners his favorite game from the past week that he rediscovered. It's an app called Construction Simulator 2 Lite. He has been talking about the time he got to operate a bulldozer and excavator when he was six. It's been nice for us to hear him talk about it and to know that he remembers it!
The link below is available that will allow listeners to support the Parenting Autism podcast expenses as well help with the publishing of our book that is currently with our editor (Parenting Autism: The Early Years). Our goal is to have it edited and published by the end of 2023.

We are humbled and honored to follow our calling and be Autism Ambassadors while helping others understand our world a little more than they did before listening to the podcast. We also feel called to bring light to a community that has experienced dark days after the "diagnosis". (Luke 1:79)
