The boys had a helluva time falling asleep last night

We just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to getting the boys to fall asleep anymore.

We took the boys Pokémon hunting and it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen

We took the boys out to catch some Pokémon and it was absolutely crazy.

I wrote this years ago. 🫶 Hey everyone. Thank you for your interest in sharing your autism parenting story on The Autism Dad Podcast. I’ve been talking about a new podcast series I have in development, and so many of you have expressed interest in sharing your story. I finally got the sign-up form created and I wanted to share this and give everyone a chance to learn more and sign up if interested. I’ve been an autism dad for 25 years and I still struggle with self-care almost every single day. This year has been a tough one for me.
