Her son is non-verbal, highly aggressive, and requires full-time care. Every day is unpredictable. The system is broken. And society often doesn’t see her family at all.</p><p>She speaks candidly about the difference between profound autism and milder forms, the grief of lost expectations, and the isolation that comes from being unable to participate in everyday life.</p><p>Audrey doesn’t sugarcoat her story. Her pink, as she says, <em>isn’t coming back</em>. But in sharing her truth, she gives voice to the thousands of parents living a version of this reality—with love, resilience, and relentless advocacy.</p><p>This is an episode about the stories we don’t hear enough. About what it means to love fiercely, even when life feels unrecognisable.</p><p>🎧 Listen now on <em>Finding Your Pink</em></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Emma Ledden"}
