Episode Summary:

In today’s episode of Redeeming the Chaos, Laurie Christine talks with Jessica Hurlbut, author of Unlimited Motherhood and host of the Full Spectrum Parent podcast. Jessica is a mom to five children, two of whom have autism. She shares her journey of raising children on the spectrum while continuing to trust God through the difficulties of parenting.

Key Takeaways:

• Autism is a spectrum, and every child’s needs are unique.
• There is a grieving process when a child is diagnosed, but healing and peace come with acceptance.
• God doesn’t call parents to fix their children, but to love them.
• Autism or any special need does not limit God’s ability to work in and through a family.
• It’s essential to seek the resources and help your child needs, even if you fear labels.
• The challenges of motherhood, especially with special needs children, can deepen faith and trust in God.
