Ashes to Armor: Finding God in the Fire is an autism parent memoir and a father’s story of developmental regression, medical dismissal, and resilient faith forged when no one would listen.
What happens when you know something is wrong with your child—but every expert insists everything is fine?
Greg Wyatt shares his lived experience as a father navigating autism regression, unanswered questions, and the quiet devastation that follows when children lose language, milestones, and connection. Like many parents, he raised concerns early, only to be dismissed, minimized, and left questioning his own instincts. The grief that followed was not sudden or visible, but ongoing and isolating—a grief with no funeral and no permission to exist.
As the search for answers deepened, the story widened beyond one family. Ashes to Armor explores why so many parents feel unheard by medical systems, how lived experience is often discounted, and how institutional narratives can silence those who don’t fit them. Greg examines the moral and historical forces that continue to shape how disability, value, and suffering are understood—and why truth is so often resisted when it disrupts certainty.
This is not a clinical guide or a policy debate. It is a personal account of parenting children with severe autism, enduring medical gaslighting, and carrying invisible grief while trying to protect the people you love. Along the way, Greg’s own health deteriorates through chronic illness and cognitive decline, testing not only his body, but his faith.
Yet this is also a Christian memoir of endurance and moral clarity. Through betrayal, isolation, and spiritual crisis, Greg discovers that faith after trauma is not built on easy answers, but on truth refined under pressure. What begins as devastation becomes transformation—pain reshaped into purpose, and suffering into armor.
This book is for parents who felt dismissed, fathers carrying quiet grief, and readers searching for faith after trauma. Ashes to Armor offers recognition, validation, and the conviction that even from ashes, something unbreakable can be formed.
