Using Words Is Overrated

My non-verbal son has taught be a form of communication that has come in handier than I ever dreamed.

VMAPP, IEP, CSE, SEPTA – people start using them around you as if you know what they mean.

There’s no peak he needs to reach in order to make me see him as a success. He simply has to keep climbing

There’s only 11 months left to Autism Awareness month.

The clapping, yelling, and jumping are just part of who we are. We not only endure it, we relish in it.

Once you do, you see the beautiful picture that’s obscured by the seemingly missing pieces.

I’m not a superhero, Warrior, or anything other than the dad to two of the best kids on Earth.

If my boy never does these things, I accept that, because I love him.

I love my son and his autism cause isn’t something I’m constantly trying to get to the heart of.

The world might be aware of the term “autism”, they’re not aware of my son and what makes him special.
