You can be aware of it. You can accept it. Autism Appreciation, however, is an entirely different thing. James Guttman explains how his non-verbal son taught him exactly what that means. From the early days of uncertainty to the realization that Autism isn't the boogeyman it was portrayed to be, it's a frank explanation of why he wouldn't wave a magic wand to change his son into anything other than the eight year old boy he has grown to be.

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.
