As an "Ausome" Father, I found it hard to process my feelings and thoughts when my son was diagnosed at age 3. I had anger, regret, depression and readily took it out on everyone, including my wife at that time. Throughout the years, I learned to be blessed with my son's gift, and speak out to other Fathers, Mothers, and those in our Ausome community. Join me as I speak (transparently) from the heart about past experiences and lessons learned in my journey with my son

    WOW....Have you ever heard of the "Refrigerator Mother" theory???

    WOW....Have you ever heard of the "Refrigerator Mother" theory???

    This episode, Ausome family, was one that left me shocked! But it also gave me more to think about; perspective about the current state of Caregivers, and what IF this theory has evolved into today?



    Definitely take a listen and share your thoughts!



    I love you all!

    PA's Yellow DOT Program/ A Father's Day message

    It's finally summer time Ausome family! I hope you and your family are enjoying the weather and all the "feels" about summertime (Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff in the background, lol).

    I'm happy you decided to join me today, as I talk about Pennsylvania's "Yellow Dot Program", and how YOU can get your Ausome loved one enrolled.



    I also wanted to take this time to speak man to man to those Ausome Father's out there. I hope you receive me and my message as another layer of Transparency.



    I love you all!

    The tough conversations..... and answers!

    Hey Ausome Family,



    I'm not sure how this episode escaped my radar, but this is A MUST, for all my Ausome Fathers (and Mothers) to listen, and receive! I had an opportunity to sit an talk to my brother Joe about Faith, and my navigation through it.



    I hope this invokes some deep conversations, thoughts, and growth.



    I love you all!

    Ausome Family!



    I hope you enjoyed your Ausome holiday weekend. It's officially the start of summer, and I've been getting a lot of questions regarding what is the difference between OVR/ODP (Naughty by Nature playing in the background :) ).



    PA residents of our Ausome community. If you don't know what the difference is, and when or if you can utilize their programming, this is an episode you should listen too.



    As always, I love you!

    The 2024 Autism Fathers Conference (Wrap-up)/OVR or ODP; Power of Attorney or Guardianship?

    We are back with another episode. The 2024 Autism Fathers Conference was AMAZING! Listen as I go over some of the highs and lows of the conference, and planning for the 2025 conference.



    I also wanted to touch on the options of OVR (Office of Vocational Rehabilitation) and ODP (Office of Developmental Programs) for our "Ausome" loved ones, briefly and the importance of "Power of Attorney" and "Guardianship.



    Make sure to have your pen and pads ready!



    I love you all!

    Topics on my phone/Happy Birthday Shayne

    Hey Ausome family! I hope everyone has been well. It has been a minute since I've been able to publish some new content, and I wanted to apologize and make it up to you all. I have been "sitting on" these two episodes for the past month, but they are so full of "rich" information, and perspectives, that I had no choice but to share them. Not to mention, I was able to get Shayne on the Mic :)



    I hope you enjoy!

    I love you all....
