Parenting for faith when my child is on the autistic spectrum

Many of us parent a child who has autism, or have children/teens in our church groups who have autism. How can we rethink our approach to help them draw closer to Jesus in the best possible way?

For one of our ‘What if … ‘ series on the Parenting for Faith podcast, Anna chatted to Cavan Wood, autism parent and author of ‘Entertaining Angels’.

Cavan shared how parents, carers and churches can help children and teens on the autistic spectrum to connect with God and engage with church. He also chatted with Anna about how we, as parents and carers, can build a support network.
