I’m trying to write more often and because I’m struggling with it a bit, I’m taking requests on topics. A very common topic seems to be helping your autistic or neurodivergent child prepare for a major life change, like moving.

A Solo Journey: Nurturing Autism and a Home
As the solo parent of three incredible autistic children, life has been a roller-coaster ride filled with victories, frustrations, struggles, joys, and lots of survival mode. In between navigating meltdowns, school systems, therapy sessions, and simply managing the ebb and flow of everyday life, which can be challenging enough, as many of you know.

Tips for Single Fathers: Navigating Co-Parenting with a Challenging Ex-Partner
Co-parenting can be challenging even when two well-adjusted, respectful adults share the same parenting goals. When one parent exhibits certain traits or behaviors, navigating the co-parenting dynamic becomes even more daunting.

Such individuals can cause significant psychological distress to both their co-parent and their children. As the other parent, you face the task of co-parenting while shielding your children from the negative aspects of their mother or father's personality, all while attempting to undo any damage already inflicted. Moreover, you may have to navigate a legal system that tends to favor mothers over fathers in custody battles.

We arrived at the Converge Autism Summit in Greenville South Carolina
Emmett and I made it safely to South Carolina last night. It took us about 9 hours or so of actual driving and it rained most of the way. Emmett handled the ride really well and if having a great time so far. Emmett didn’t want to stand in the rain Virginia, so I stood alone. lol I’m just finished setting everything up and I’m going to head back out and check out the vendors. Emmett’s working in some school work and our day is off to a pretty good start. :-)

Heading back to the Converge Autism Conference this May
I’m returning to the Autism Converge Conference put on by Springbrook Autism Behavioral Health in Greenville, South Carolina the week of Mayth. The purpose is to help promote the conference and speakers, along with a couple of the social media influencers. Last year’s conference I went last year and had a really good time.
