- Society & Culture
This program is for anyone who is in the midst of raising a child with autism. As a parent of an adult son with autism, epilepsy, intellectual disability and most recent diagnosis of Syngap1, I continue to learn from a vast array of lessons that have been sent my way. My son Michael is the impetus to all I do personally and professionally. I will discuss everything, the good, the bad and the ugly in parenting, marriage(s), family, friends, faith, schools and trail blazing efforts for adult services. My hope is that you can learn or at least get validation from my experiences. I offer compassion for families living this experience and guarantee it will be peppered with humor and sarcasm. I’m so happy you are here!
