    I owe you two
    I don’t think I’ve left a review for you both yet. I started listening about 2 years ago when my 18 month old was not talking. I was spiraling looking for information to help me learn about him, wondering if he was on the spectrum. While he is not, I do see neurodivergence in him and myself, as I have ADHD. Before I go any further I just wanted to answer one question that I have failed to in the past. I am listening from San Antonio, TX! I also wanted to tell you that listening to your podcast helped me to see the side of getting by as a parent of a neurodivergent child. You have your struggles, but this makes small victories into large victories if you ask me. My son just started waving to me and to others on command at the age of 4.5, yet he now is moderately bilingual and speaks with admirable syntactical structure. You both have been a comfort to me for a long time, and while I don’t listen as religiously as I use to, I still enjoy catching up with you both and Bryce. Take care and thanks so much for this pod. It has helped me feel normal and like I can get through whatever goes on with my child.

    Love this podcast!
    I recently listened to one of the episodes and I wanted you to know that I personally appreciate the time you take to do the podcast. I found you last year about a year after our son was diagnosed at the age of 2yrs old. He’s going to be 4 this week and so much of what you share is exactly what we are walking in that moment. I also appreciate the Christian perspective as we too are Christian’s. We found another podcast but u just couldn’t keep listening because so much was not aligned to our walk. I again want to thank you! We are in western North Carolina and our family is thankful for your family! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you for sharing your journey and resources
    I love hearing about your journey and especially how you navigate it as a Christian family! I relate to your struggles, successes and everything in between. You have been so responsive to my emails and even though we are all on separate paths we can learn from each other. I love how you share not just therapies but also biomedical information. Keep up the good work and go team Bryce! Ps: this is my first review and thank you for being transparent about the fact you need encouragement too.

    We love you! Keep going!!
    Hi Chris & Sandy! I just listened to the 08/22 episode and want to say, please keep going! My 2 year old was diagnosed with Autism at 22 months last October and your podcast was the very first podcast I found!!! I have listened to all episodes and look forward to new ones when you have the time to do them. Your journey has provided so much hope and I get so much out of it. Please do not end! You have no idea what a blessing it has been for me and for so many others to listen to you and your shows. I love listening to Bryce when he hops on and I find so much comfort and hope each show! I’ll admit, I’m not a review person, but if my review can give you the motivation to keep going, then I was going to make sure I did it.Your family is an absolute joy! And for the record, we do get a lot out of your podcast! It prompted me to look into the hyperbaric chamber, do my research on supplements, look into the diet changes, etc. all of that I’ve found through you!!! Plus, as a side note, I’m planning a trip to the east cost, DC, and NY and never knew you could get tickets to the White House!!! Again, something to note that I learned from you!! Keep going! We love you guys!! -Cellesha

    Wonderful show
    This show has been my comfort, my teacher, and my launchpad for finding solutions for my son on the spectrum. Not only is it uplifting to hear of the Colter family’s successes, it is also extremely therapeutic to know that we’re not alone in our struggles. I love how real Chris and Sandy keep things, and the resources that are discussed. They are clear that they can only speak to their experience with Bryce, and that not all solutions work for every child, but it’s so awesome to even have some ideas to start researching in this often confusing and overwhelming journey. This podcast came into my life at the exact moment I needed it, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

    I truly love listening to Chris, Sandy, Bryce and their journey with autism. Listening to their journey over the past few years has really made me feel part of their family. I am a nanny for twin boys with Autism along with a special education teacher for kiddos with Autism, this podcast has helped me in more ways that I could ever express. Thank you for all that you guys do. Keep up the amazing work, God bless you and your family!

    Answer to my prayer
    This podcast has helped me immensely in my autism journey. It began when my 3-year-old was diagnosed with autism in June 2021. Oh man this journey is so difficult. There are lots of tears of both triumphs and sadness. And Sandy and Chris were there for me from the beginning. I am so thankful that they share their love and experiences with Bryce. They all give me hope as I navigate this autism journey. Thank you for all your do for our community💙💙

Sharing your story with others must help, comfort, inform, all your listeners. I just saw a pic of Bryce….oh what a handsome dude. I look forward to your podcasts. Sending hugs too all. Sandy

    So helpful!
    Love the authenticity! Keep up the great work, this podcast has been helpful in my journey with my beautiful boy who has autism.
  • Chimmia
    Thanks for your podcasts!
    Hi Chris and Sandy, I listen to your podcasts everyday whenever I have some time to work around the house and don’t have to look after my son. As you may know, autism parents don’t have much time, most of my time at home is to be a therapist to my son. Your podcasts are my entertainment and learning resource at the same time. My son is on the moderate to severe spectrum, so hearing your stories give me hope. And I appreciate that you’re cheerful and honest in your wins and struggles. I’m an immigrant from Southeast Asia, it’s very hard sometimes to navigate the culture in the US, and at the same time, advocate for my son strategically. But we’re learning and fighting for our son. Your podcasts give us great information and examples on this journey. God bless your family! You have beautiful hearts! Harry’s parents.

    So helpful!
    I enjoy this podcast so much! I have a 5 year old boy on the spectrum, and it truly helps me to hear the experiences of other ASD parents. I love that Chris and Sandy are so positive and loving, yet so honest about their struggles. I relate to them and also feel much more at ease in my parenting when I hear that others are having the same thoughts as me. Thank you, Chris and Sandy for sharing yours and Bryce’s story with us!
  • Linds2014
    Just what I needed!
    I have a 5 yr old boy who was recently diagnosed. This podcast has been so refreshing! I’ve enjoyed listening to your stories as I can relate! You speak so much truth into different challenges. I started listening a month ago and I’m starting to go back to your first episodes. Highly recommend!

    Great Resource for Parents
    You get real life on this podcast with real solutions all presented in a positive manner. I also find their personal stories relatable and humorous. The Colter’s are active on social media and responsive to questions autism parents might have.

    Thanks for helping us
    You guys are the best I love how you talk about your life, your issues and how to solve it. All of your advise are helping us with our son. We are a new diagnosed family. It is hard but thanks for giving us hope
  • DanicaCalifornia
    Real. Life. Encouragement.
    Our son was diagnosed ASD in April of this year. Still very new and emotional for me. Finding this podcast has been such a comfort and a hope for me during this time. I love that this podcast is not hosted by doctors or professionals. Just real life parents who are real and raw with their content. Another thing I love is they share the hard things but never talk down or bad about their son. So many parents can be “woe is me” about their ASD child. If you’re especially a new parent to a child with ASD...totally recommend this podcast.

    I stumbled across this podcast and I’m glad I did. Very rarely do you see people talk with faith even when faced with so many unknown. I applaud what you do and pray for God’s continued guidance and protection for Bryce.

    I am pleased to say that as of today I have listened to all the podcasts available from Parenting Autism. I do not have a child with autism but I do know Sandy Chris and Bryce. I have to say I personally received several nuggets from this podcasts that will help me be a better person, wife and citizen of our diverse community. Sandy and Chris are very dynamic and so full of passion as they walk the life of autism. Keep doing what you both do so well. God has blessed you both and you serve him well. Love Lynn
