A Good Parent Has To Play The Bad Guy Sometimes

What do you do, after that entire expensive day of magic, when they scream out “shut your mouth” in a crowded Macaroni Grill?

Autism doesn’t make my son the best boy in the world. The fact that he’s mine makes him the best boy in the world.

When it comes to meetings like this, it’s about helping my child. I’m here for him.

Stress over the uncertainty that I would have to encounter was actually the most stressful and uncertain times of all.

I don’t want to live my life angry and, just because I have kids, it doesn’t mean I have to.

Yeah. He’s not gonna look. You can just take it.

My son with Autism turned Raffi from singer to icon in our house.

You never realize how much of your life isn’t kid friendly until you find yourself tasked with being friendly to kids.

The scariest part was never about what he would or wouldn’t do.

One day, maybe he’ll be able to tell me, “Yo. Put me down.”
