FathersFyre is now international! I'm so excited. This week I have my first international guest from Scotland, Niko Sadlowski. He and I sit down to have a candid discussion about his experience as a dad learning that his son is severely autistic. He shares how he navigated the initial news to embracing the opportunity to travel the world with his son despite autism.
The “A” Word - Autism
Started writing his book not to write a book but to wrestle with his journey as a father
A child can change every motivation of our heart and help us become a better man and father
Crushed by the news of his son being autistic, got drunk, then decided to take action
Having someone come up and say “I think your son has autistic” can initially be devastating but can help us take action
How does someone talk to us and we not get offended and go in defensive mode
The reality of being a dad of a kid with special needs
We need to slow down and embrace the moments that we have with our kids and set aside expectations
Embrace your child’s disability and still experience life within his capabilities
Traveling to Morocco with his son - a UNIQUE experience
The perception of other people about your experience
Navigating the dynamic of one child with autism and one without
Sometimes you just gotta have the extra sweet or stay up late
