Welcome to Episode 264 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t being told the full truth… this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Krista Petraco Bourne, a speech-language pathologist, mom, and fierce advocate who’s walked a difficult—but empowering—path with her son, Joey.

She shares the heart-wrenching story of Joey’s regression, misdiagnosis, and medical trauma—and how her silence kept them both stuck for far too long.

But everything changed when she trusted her instincts, broke through institutional misinformation, and embraced a new, hopeful path.

This conversation is about courage, discernment, and how to reclaim your power as a parent.

The secret this week is…
