“What If”. Parents of special needs kids have many “what if” statements constantly in their minds. Even while being the best parent their child could have. All we can do is trust God with our children. He loves them more than we can imagine. Full version here: https://youtu.be/emXoEBH2S64?si=MGYiuss8sOnAT__V

Here’s a sample of “I Will Be Your Voice” from 2022. This song was written as a poem by a mother with a child with severe autism. Enjoy the full version here: https://youtu.be/VY4eqHp4F5M?si=ItcK33wi0NpRbLAt

My wife and I wrote an album of music from our experience with a child with severe autism. I hope the songs will encourage you and bring you comfort.

Part 2 of yesterday’s post. Should we talk details about the worst times?

Dads, our attitude is so powerful. It affects everyone around us. I’ve still got a long way to go but I’m learning that I can choose what to do with it.

It's been almost 2 years since my last episode! Too long. It's time to start back up again. Severe / profound autism has major impacts on the individuals who are diagnosed and their families. It can seem like they are the only ones who suffer because people don't feel like speaking out. I'm here to share my story and offer encouragement to dads like me.

In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling striking down Roe vs Wade, there seems to be some confusion about options for pregnant women who can't care for their baby. I have Micah on to talk about his family's adoption journey.

With guest: Brian Maines

School’s out and we have hit the ground running with behaviors! But it could be worse. It has been worse and I’ve got to remember those times.
