    Tell Me About November Please

    Tell Me About November Please

    That one day when I went away for the weekend and everything fell apart -- people got sick, people went away, the kid and his dad spent over two weeks on their own, and having to tell Campbell about death for the first time.
    It's an episode from the heart, telling a story that needed to be personally said out loud in order to move on with the show and to put an insane November behind us.

    Disney Wi-Fi Please

    Disney Wi-Fi Please

    That one day when Campbell does something scary, freaking everyone out, right there in The Most Magical Place on Earth. An episode about breaking glass, a freaked out dad, great Disney dining, and the importance of a decent wi-fi signal.

    Autism Dynamite Please

    That one day when I realized it was "Diagnosis Week", and reflect up on this week in 2013, when we got the official diagnosis of autism on our kid... and a story of communication and hope.

    Go Downstairs Please

    Go Downstairs Please

    That one day when we find Campbell standing in the kitchen, evidence of the crime strewn about. An episode on the struggles of obedience, the resulting punishment, and the dangers of not following the rules.

    A Shutdown Recap Please

    A Shutdown Recap Please

    That one day when they canceled schools because of a pandemic, and then we had to figure out how to survive the next (the last?) five months together with school and YouTube and trampoline parks and neighborhood parties and more.

    Splash Adventure Please

    Splash Adventure Please

    That one day when I decided to do the autism podcast again, this time discussing our adventures... our Splash Adventures... at the local water park -- including the dangers of the big slide and family restroom searches.

This should be shared with family that doesn’t understand

The real life perspective of what is like to be autism parent is refreshing.

A beautiful, helpful, and practical podcast

David is a raw and transparent in what life is like as a dad with an autistic child. His story telling is well done and his heart speaks true to his character. You will walk away from this show enriched and aware of the trials and joys of raising an autistic child. Do yourself a favor and listen, your heart won’t regret it.

A little something for everybody!

As a neuro-typical person, I'm learning a great deal about autism by following along with the adventures of David, Stephanie, and Campbell.

Whether you're a parent of a child on the spectrum, on the spectrum yourself, or just a person outside the process who is curious or maybe you just avidly consume podcasts because it's an easy way to introvert but connect with people (me 🙋).... This is a heartwarming, funny, and well-curated listening experience that is worth your time!
