For James Guttman, 2023 has come in like a lion and is going out like a lamb. It has been a roller coaster year and, during the low moments, his non-verbal son's in-the-moment approach to the world has lifted him up. JG talks about why he appreciates his son so much, how all children (on or off the spectrum) are different, and the way he's changing the way he sees the good times.

Hi Pod! I’m Dad is where I talk through fatherhood while raising a son with autism who does not speak.
I’m James Guttman, the dad behind Hi Blog! I’m Dad. This podcast isn’t about…
Some episodes are about joy and connection. Others are about exhaustion, fear, patience, and the quiet moments that never make it into awareness campaigns. Everything you hear here comes from real mornings, real mistakes, and a deep love for my kids.
There is no takeaway. Just one dad saying the things he usually keeps to himself.
