  • Harry Psaros: A dad's fight for acceptance
    2024/11/18

    Today Tash & Doug chat with Harry Psaros, a father and autism advocate. Harry shares his journey as a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, discussing the early signs of autism in his son Gus, the challenges of the diagnosis process, and the importance of community and support for parents. The conversation emphasizes the need for fathers to be involved in advocacy, the significance of self-care, and the hope of seeing children thrive in their journeys. Harry's insights and experiences provide valuable lessons for parents navigating the complexities of raising children with autism.

    We discuss the story behind his book, "From Struggle to Strength: A Father's Journey with Autism and the Power of Hope and Positivity" and how important it is for the fathers of autistic kids to have support and community as well as the mothers.

  • RE-Launch: Adapting & Grief
    2024/11/06

    This is the final installment of our version of the stages of grief. We bring it all together and discuss what happens during and after the process of grieving an autism diagnosis. You've reached a level of acceptance and peace...now what?

    There is a wheel of adaptation with grief, broken down into four hemispheres, all intersecting and overlapping. Dr. Nancy B. Miller first presented this concept in the book, Nobody's Perfect: Living and Growing with Children Who Have Special Needs. We hope you find her research and our discussion insightful.

  • RE-Launch: Acceptance & Grief
    2024/10/30

    The idea of acceptance can give a false impression that everything is ok or that you are not struggling anymore. A better way to look at acceptance is that you have reached a certain level of resolve or can see the reality of your life for what it is now.

    In this episode, we discuss the first time we reached a level of acceptance with our autistic children and how we strive to return to that place in various ways. It's a great discussion, real and raw, about the difficulty of the journey and the goodness and growth that can come from it.

    We'd love to hear about your take on this discussion:
