"Is this the life I imagined or dreamed of? No. But it's my life and I'm making the best of it."

About This Episode: It's Father Friday!!!  I had a great conversation with Dad Austin and I just loved what he had to say about raising a neurodivergent child. Here are just some of the things we discussed:

-How he prioritizes fitness as his "self-care"
-Planning a move around the educational needs of your kid
-How COVID brought tremendous stress to his marriage
-The challenges of your child being an eloper
-Pursuing adventure with special needs kids
-How he stays away from negative thoughts
-Finding community that accepts you and your family completely
-How therapy has helped him
