Debra J. O’Fee — author, autism mom, and advocate — joins Conversations with Verdel Jones for a powerful and deeply human conversation about autism parenting, sobriety, and acceptance.

In her newly released book, The Cold Water Diaries of an Autism Mom, Debra shares honest, often humorous reflections on raising her teenage sons — including Ryan, who is autistic, and his fiercely loving older brother JT. Through diary-style storytelling, she explores the realities of lifelong caregiving, the unbreakable bond between siblings, and the personal turning point that led her to sobriety so she could be fully present for her children.

In this episode, we talk about:
✅ Parenting a child with autism and navigating lifelong support needs
✅ The emotional bond between siblings in a neurodivergent family
✅ Choosing sobriety as an act of love and self-preservation
✅ Acceptance, advocacy, and supporting other autism moms
✅ The deeper meaning behind The Cold Water Diaries title

This conversation is raw, reflective, and filled with heart — offering reassurance to parents who may feel overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure where to turn next.
