Today, I'm excited to welcome to the podcast my friend and fellow autism dad blogger, Jerry Turning, a.k.a. Mr. Bacon. Autism dads often struggle with their child's diagnosis, and have to fight for years to get their mojo back. That happened with me, and it happened with Jerry, too. So today, we share our experiences, and Jerry talks about how he was finally able to turn the corner to become the father Eric needed.Jerry Turning served 25 years as a municipal police officer, recently retiring from the rank of Captain. He served most of his police career as a decorated K-9 Handler, Trainer, and Unit Supervisor. Jerry also served as Internal Affairs Commander, Patrol Division Commander, and policy writer for his police department.In 2012, Jerry began writing about his experiences as an autism dad and established the successful blog: Bacon and Juiceboxes: Our Life With Autism. He earned a following of over 35,000 fans who share his family’s challenges and triumphs. You can follow Jerry at his blog or his Facebook page.
