The Spectrum Dad Fred Marvel

It’s the Season Finale of the Spectrum Dad! This week I am talking to Katie Emde. She’s an incredible mom and advocate. We talked a lot about advocating and finding our voices as advocates for our kids. Katie was incredible to talk to and a great source of information.

This week on the Spectrum Dad I am joined by Ryan. He is an incredible dad to two kids on the spectrum. We had a great talk about dealing with and processing an autism diagnosis as a dad. Ryan also shares the advice he would give to dads of newly diagnosed children. It was really great to get the perspective of another dad

This week on the Spectrum Dad I am joined by Jessi. Jessi has two incredible kids Buddy and Lyla. Both kids wound up getting diagnosed with autism on the same day. Jessi is very open about how she learned to process what she felt going through that. Then we have a great talk about AACs. We talked a lot about finding the right therapy fit for our kids and we finished by discussing sibling relationships. Jessi was incredibly open and honest and we had a great conversation!

This week on the Spectrum Dad I have a great conversation with Brittany. She is mom to an incredible son, Teegan. We talk a lot about Teegan’s diagnosis and his story, but we also talk a ton about self-care. We have a great conversation about prepping and planning ahead and making sure we as parents are in a good place so we can do the best job for our kids.

This week’s episode of the Spectrum Dad covers it all. I have the pleasure of taking to Daniele.

We talked about finding the right school setting for our kids and then we finish with Daniele talking about her journey with sobriety.

This week I am joined by Renee, a special needs mom from Oklahoma. We had a great discussion about regression, acceptance and inclusion. We also talked about the inspiration behind Renee’s Disney reels highlighting some amazing kiddos.
