Parenting a child on the autism spectrum is a journey filled with love, learning, advocacy, and resilience.

In this heartfelt episode of Vital Voices, host Alexis Burrows sits down with husband and wife Marcus Bosland and Paula Maria Hospedales-Bosland to discuss their family’s experience navigating parenthood with an autistic child, while also raising another child with different needs and milestones.

Together, they reflect on diagnosis, special needs education, sibling dynamics, marriage, community support, and the lessons their journey has taught them about patience, compassion, and unconditional love.
