Autism & the Holidays: A Real-Life Spectrum Recap (B+ Edition)
In this episode, we’re recapping the holidays — autism and all. The holiday season can be especially challenging for individuals on the autism spectrum, with disrupted routines, sensory overload, and nonstop social demands. This year, we’re happy to report that Alec earned a solid B+, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
We break down what worked well for Alec, the strategies that helped support him, and what we might do differently next time. While this holiday season felt like a win, it hasn’t always been this way — and we share openly about the years when the holidays were anything but successful.
This honest recap is meant to encourage families who are still in the trenches. Progress isn’t about perfection — it’s about learning, adjusting, and celebrating the small wins along the way. If your holidays felt hard, you’re not alone, and there is hope for smoother seasons ahead.
