| Ep 1. ‘A Rollercoaster of Emotions and Stress’ as Autism Parents | 23 Jun 2025 | 00:37:53 | |
Episode 1: Our Story Begins – Autism, Marriage & Everything in Between Welcome to the very first episode of Marriage After The A Word, where Emily and Stuart open up about life as parents of an autistic son — the beautiful, the painful, and everything in between. In this raw and honest conversation, they share the emotional rollercoaster of their son’s autism diagnosis: the fear, the uncertainty, the sleepless nights, and how it’s changed them as individuals and as a couple. They reflect on how autism has impacted their marriage — from the daily challenges to the moments of unexpected connection. You’ll also get a glimpse of what’s to come in future episodes, including topics like ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), the struggle for alone time, and the messy, real feelings that often go unspoken. They even explore a deeply personal question: Would they change their child’s autism diagnosis if they could? Whether you’re a parent, partner, or simply curious about the real-life impact of raising an autistic child, this podcast is for anyone craving honesty, vulnerability, and connection — especially when it comes to the often unspoken toll on a marriage. | |||
