Each journey of the father of an ASD child is unique.  Yet, there are so many valuable lessons to be learned from other Dads - the struggles, the confusion, the everyday miracles, and most importantly - the precious insights learned along that journey.

 

In this podcast, Paul interviews Rodney Peete, NFL star and co-founder of the HollyRod Foundation with his wife, Holly.   They share their unique (and common) experiences raising an autistic son.

 

Rodney and Paul discuss the following:

• Some early indicators that showed that their child was “different”

• Hurdles that Dads (and Moms) face getting a successful diagnosis

• Unique challenges fathers face raising a child on the spectrum

• Common myths and stereotypes associated with autistic children (and what we can do about dipelling these stereotypes)
