I Guess He Does That Now

It filled me with pride. I like to think that he shared in that feeling too. He earned it.

When it comes to agreeable attire, they don’t get much cooler than my non-verbal son.

As I write it out though, it becomes more obvious that this isn’t an Autism story.

Hear the official preview of “Hi Pod! I’m Dad” – debuting October 25th!

My biggest fear was how I could protect my non-verbal son without being by his side constantly.

Maybe one day, he’ll tell us what is holding him back from using his voice. Maybe he won’t.

It won’t happen overnight for him. It didn’t for me either.

For the parent to a non-verbal child, social pleasantries can take on a different feel. They may be social, but they aren’t pleasant.

Sometimes he would look at me. Sometimes he wouldn’t. Still, I’d go on and on about what this person did or what that person said.

The more he has learned to use his communication device, the more he has been seeing it as an easy way to score pizza.
