About this episode

An emotional conversation about the experiences of grandparents raising autistic grandchildren.

You asked and we delivered! 🎙️ We sit down for one of our most requested episodes ever an honest and emotional conversation about what it's really like to be a grandparent to an autistic child. From spotting early signs at just nine months old, to the grief, the exhaustion, the meltdowns, and the moments that make it all worth it. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or just someone who wants to feel less alone pull up a seat, this one's special. 💛 Sponsored by B and W https://www.blackandwhitebridging.co.uk/ #autism #autisticchild #autismfamily #autismmum autismawareness #autismcommunity #autismjourney #autismsupport #GlassChild #autismdiagnosis #specialneedsfamily #neurodivergentfamily #autismpodcast #autismparenting Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
