Nothing like getting some dinner after a long day of gaming!

Today's shaping to be a great Sunday!

On Sunday, my son crawled into bed at 6:20. After cuddles and cartoons I took him to the nature center and lunch. He said maybe 5 words to me, which is typical. When we got home I was completely wiped - so my wife took over and I went to nap. As I lay there, he came up behind me, kissed my back and left. As I think about that, I want to take every article, film, and tv show that said autistic people don’t feel empathy, and I want to punch it in the throat. #austism #autismdad #autismparent

These books have really helped me to understand my daughter's world and I recommend them highly to any parent who is struggling to communicate with their autistic child. I've been meaning to write a thank you note to the author.

@sal @actuallyautistic @ashleyspencer @lkh I use the hashtags #autismparent and #autismdad not to gossip but to connect with other parents of #ASD children.

@tweak @ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic hi!
I love to hear about the #autismparent and #autismdad hashtags.
This is a new and unknown field to me and my daughter is pretty young so I will first of all read about it more than post I think. But it is nice to connect with others facing an equally situation. :)

@lkh @ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic Hi, I’d love more activity on the hashtags #autismparent and #autismdad for discussions about our ASD children. ADHD here but not #actuallyautistic myself but often use that hashtag also when discussing my 12 year old son who is.

I spent new years eve working through u substitution in calculus to help my autistic son catch up in AP Calculus BC. He's still 11 homework lessons behind but at least we got over the hurdle that shut him down. The other stuff should be easier and we can move quicker. my God the amount of homework assigned is more than the homework I had doing calc in college. #autismdad

@AutisticAdam Hi Adam, I’m Adam. I’m an #autismparent #autismdad and love this little community we’re building here. Welcome.

Let me do a proper #introduction I spent the first 35 years of my life in the Atlanta area but moved to Syracuse, NY just over 9 years ago to be with my wife, who I’d met on the bird app. I am an #AutismDad

OBSESSED with #electricguitar #astrophysics #astronomy
Working daily to improve from my #braininjury
They say I can draw now because of something called #acquiredsavantsyndrome
Love being out in #nature
Get asked my height way too often in public.
#ptsd results in lots of sleepless nights.

@simid @ricardoharvin I don’t need my kids to conform to try and be neurotypical, but I want a community to support each other when we need it. I’ve found similar communities on facebook, less to an an extent on twitter, but I’d love to cultivate one here in the fediverse.

Last Wednesday the active threat alarm was triggered at my sons middle school, students were aware this was not a drill and locked down in their classrooms huddled in a corner for over and hour as armed officers cleared the school room by room. Turns out is was accidentally triggered so it was a false alarm. Kids were terrified, Caden told us he made peace with the fact he was going to die.

It’s pics like this that get me through tough days like this past weekend. God I love both of them to ♾️. #neurodivergent #autism #autismdad #adhd #autismparent

New day, new start; wife and I debriefed about what went wrong yesterday and what we can do in the future. Feeling good today after lots of tears yesterday. #autism #neurodivergent #autismdad #autismparent

@ricardoharvin I’ve been trying to find a community of #autism #parents #autismdad #neurodivergent. Where is everyone?

Idk if anyone here is an autism parent, been looking for another community like the ones I’ve found on twitter and Facebook, but trying establish a community there in the fediverse. #autismdad #autism #autismparent #supportsunday

Officially an #AutismDad

Lot of feelings going on right now. Thankful to have answers, scared of the future, sad, angry, joyful, at peace…

No matter what the future holds, we’ll get through it together.
