We have to stop invalidating other autism parents experiences. Everyone is different and that’s okay. It’s so important that we all coexist, learn from, and support each others journeys, even if they’re not all the same. ❤️🫶

We need to normalize parents experiencing emotion when their child is diagnosed with a disability like #autism, #adhd, or any other #disability. ❤️🫶

Meltdowns are involuntary and a sign of overstimulation. They're not a disciplinary issue or a sign of a bad parent. Be kind, patient, and supportive. ❤️🫶

I feel like this kid gets it. 😂

What has me most concerned about the proposed autism registry?

Parents are feeling trapped between helping their kids by getting them diagnosed — and protecting them by avoiding a diagnosis to keep them off a potential list.

This is bigger than politics.

I’m a dad neurodivergent dad to 3 autistic kids. What RFK Jr. said about autism is dangerous, disgusting, and deeply hurtful. I have some thoughts.

Here’s a clip from my trip to Florida with my 19 year old autistic son Elliott.

I really don’t feel like self care today but I’m pushing myself to at least show up. I’m focusing on building routine and getting back into the habit. One day at a time. 🫶💪

My 19 year old autistic son Elliott and I just got home from your cross-country adventure. We had a great time and you guys had some questions….

“Does Elliott find it easy to sleep in the car?”
