Autism and Adulthood
This podcast was born out of love, fear, and faith—the same mix most parents feel when navigating the unknown future of adulthood for their autistic or special needs child. Hosted by Sharon Williams, a passionate mother and advocate for her 24-year-old autistic son Kyle, Autism & Adulthood explores the journey beyond IEPs, high school transitions, and into housing, employment, independence, and lifelong care.
Each episode offers real stories, expert interviews, and heartfelt conversations that guide, inform, and uplift families walking a similar path.
