What’s up folks

What's up folks. It's been a eventful week and I've not had much time for writing. There's been a lot going on and I'm actually doing pretty good. I don't really have anything to complain about. I feel incredibly lucky to be completely honest. I knocked out two fantastic recordings this week and I've cleared my entire recording schedule. I'm booked for a few interviews in the near future but I'm not going to be recording anything myself for probably a few weeks. I'm so far behind on editing and I have enough already recorded to get me through the summer. I'm pretty excited about that. Also, I'm down another 20+ pounds since the beginning of the year and it feels pretty amazing, I'm not gonna lie. As of roughly…

10 Tips for single fathers rasing autistic children

Raising children as a single father is a difficult task in its own right, regardless of circumstances. Add to this the challenge of raising a child who has received an autism diagnosis. Particularly if you’re still adjusting to life without a partner, there’s no shame in admitting that it can be difficult to find the time, energy, and finances to give your child the life you want for them. Here are 10 tips for the single dad who is raising an autistic child. 1. Review your state’s child custody laws If you’re recently separated or divorced, be sure to review your state’s child custody laws thoroughly. As child custody laws vary greatly by state, make sure you’re up to speed on your rights, as well as your child’s rights. It…

A Super Quick Update

It's been a pretty amazing day for those of us living in the The Autism Dad household today. The boys did well at school and I feel like I accomplished a good bit before I writing this, ready to call it a night. I just took a melatonin, so I'm gonna make this quick and painless. I should be getting the car back in the morning and hopefully, that will be the last time it's in the bodyshop. The boys and I are going to be moving our movie night from Friday to Wednesday because they will be at their mom's for the whole weekend. I'm really excited for them and for me. I'm looking forward to this weekend. Anyway, I will be finishing this Friday's episode a bit early…

I’m so excited about this week

I had a pretty good weekend and I feel relatively accomplished. The boys and I did some yardwork and will be planting flowers this week, weather permitting. We also began our descent into spring cleaning. We got a good bit done already and we're going to spend some time every single day continuing the progress. The boys head back to school in the morning. I still don't think it makes sense to do things this way but I don't make the rules. The boys are going to be at their moms all weekend and I'm so excited for them. It's been forever since they've been able to go over so I think it will do them a world of good. I feel like life is just coming together for us.…

My boys and I deserve to be happy

So I've come to a decision pertaining to our house and I feel pretty good about it. First of all, do we need to move? Yes! Would it be nice to move right now? Yes!  Is right now the best time to move? Probably not. There are so many changes going on in my life right now that making this kind of major move is probably ill advised. That being said, I do have a plan and if something does pop up that is a good fit, I'll definitely be looking into it. The current plan is to give the house a minor facelift. My Dad called this morning to let me know that he's excited to get the process rolling. The current delay is simply related to COVID. My…

New Beginnings

I've been working on this post for a few days and just couldn't get it right. My life has changed in so many ways over the last two years. The kids and I have been through a lot but that's not really a secret. Recently, we've begun to emerge from our hybernation of sorts and re-enter the world. It's kinda exciting. There are a few things that remain challenging but there are also a few things that stand to be life altering, in a very positive way. Work seems to be going pretty well. Mightier has finally finished with it's soft relaunch and they've made some really cool changes. You should definitely check Mightier out because it's an amazing tool for helping kids learn to manage their emotions. I'm excited…

I’m starting to write a new chapter in the book of my life

I've haven't written anything super meaningful in a long time. The truth is that a I've written so much over the years that I've sorta burned out. There's something like 12,500 articles on this blog and I've written 99% of them. The rest is guest or sponsored content. I mean, gotta pay the bills right? I've got so many new followers that I've been able to get away with not putting a great deal of new content out because people are reading the older stuff for the first time and it helps them. It's not like there's a shortage of things to read. It's sorta cheating I suppose but I've been spread pretty thin and found writing a bit overwhelming. That's one of the reasons I started the podcast. It…

I’m pretty excited about the coming weeks

The kids have been driving me crazy all day but that's their job, right? Kids are supposed to drive their parents nuts just like we drove our parents nuts. They were laying it on pretty thick today though and I'm not sure how fair that is.. Lol We actually had a pretty decent day. I got some work done, which is always good. I'm already 75% done with this Friday's episode and I even have the sponsor ad done as well. All this on a fricking Monday no less. Couple of cool things coming up. Dr. Webby, from St Jude and the WHO will be on the pod to talk about the current status of COVID. We're gonna talk the importance of the vaccines, as well as dispel some of…
