Episode 5 of the podcast welcomes Tim and Talida Chen, parents of twin daughters with autism. The Chens share their experiences navigating the complexities of raising children with special needs. Tim, originally from Taiwan, and Talida, a native Texan, met in college through a Christian fellowship. After moving to Katy, Texas in 2021, their daughters faced significant developmental challenges.
The diagnoses were emotionally devastating for the couple, with Tim describing it as "horrifying" and Talida mourning the loss of their initial hopes for their children. In the aftermath, they experienced isolation, as friends and community struggled to relate to their situation. However, they found unexpected support connecting with other families facing similar challenges. Through this, they learned to embrace the chaos of their circumstances, accepting their lack of control and trusting in God's plan.
