Father of two children - one non-verbal with autism, one verbal without.

Then Why Do We Do It?

I refuse to leave him sitting in the living room.

A terrible decision for your child might be the perfect one for mine.

Just because I don’t know why he reacts a certain way to something, that doesn’t mean I can’t support him during it.

I watch though the lens of my camera and the lens of my fatherhood and can’t believe what I am seeing.

He’s both the easiest kid to shop for and the hardest kid to shop for.

Getting hurt is easy, not letting it change who you are isn’t.

I never asked her to help “cure” my son’s Autism.

In that hospital bed, the question of whether I would do anything for my kids was real.

We walked into the crowded and cramped waiting area. That’s when my son had a meltdown.

His eyes turn red, you lean in to check him, and he sneezes in your face.
