Greg and Gina understand the overwhelming shock that comes when your child is diagnosed with a disability. When all 3 of their sons were diagnosed with autism, they discovered a brand-new way of living life with disability.
For over 25 years, they have navigated the ups and downs of living with disability and have found God's grace every step of the way. Listen as they share 3 relational areas for marriages to focus on in the midst of hardships!

Lovely family. God works all together for our good. We must remember this life is short and not hold back from having children if we can as we are creating eternal people who will live forever. A short life with autism but eternity whole and free. This life is fleeting and God wants us always to have an eternal perspective🙏🏻✝️🕊

My son is 29 and 24/7 care. My husband and I get almost no time alone. Covid also impacted our relationship in many ways. Our families are both out of state and we face our own health issues. Respite is much needed.

Thank you to Greg and Gina. We have a son, our youngest of six, with autism. It did indeed turn our lives upside down. Yet, God has been with us and shown us His love throughout our journey.

My oldest has Asperger's which is a form of autism but at the very high end and it brings unique challenges just like this family has dealt with. I also am a teacher of special needs kids and it has helped me having that particular disability along with bipolar to be able to help families such as this one during my journey and education.

Thank-you for sharing! We also have 2 autistic children, 21yr boy, 20yr girl, who is still in diapers. They also have grandmal seizures, don't sleep well at night. So it's very hard to find someone who would watch them, and therefore don't get out for dates. Would love to be able to train my daughter to go to toilet ( l will take any advice and consider it). 3x l thought we had it, and had to go back to diapers again.

Nancy, our hearts go out to you as you endure the hardship that comes with caring for two children with autism. Our prayers are with you. We encourage you to connect with our Response team to see if there are any respite events in your area. We would also love to offer you spiritual encouragement and prayer. Please know that our prayer for you comes from Isaiah 41:10 - “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10, NLT)
