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.

E122: Ways We are Strengthening our Marriage
In this episode, we review a few books that we have read including one that we are slowly going through together to strengthen our marriage.
- Your True Self is Enough (Author: Susanna Peace Lovell)
- Becoming Brave Together, Heroic, extraordinary caregiving stories from mothers hidden in plain sight (An Anthology from "We are Brave Together")
- How to Build a Thriving Marriage as you Care for Children with Disabilities (Authors: Kristin Faith Evans and Todd Evans)
In addition to taking action steps recommended in the book, we are also watching the Rick Warren online study, "What on Earther Are We Here For?" Both of these resources are helping us align together for God's plans for us in this next season of life.
We also share some highlights from the past week including homeschool, an IMAX movie viewing, and community service sewing pillowcases for Ryan's Case for Smiles.
Bryce's Bible Class is from Bob Jones University. The first grade curriculum was a perfect fit for him, and the second grade curriculum, "A Servant's Heart", appears to be a good next step for him.

Bryce is a funny, mechanical, HAPPY little guy who was diagnosed with autism at age two and is now ten years old. His pure joy makes this world a much better place!
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)
