  • Rob Gorski: Raising three young autistic adult children

    Our guest is Rob Gorski, father to three autistic children, who is sharing his journey through podcasting, blogging, and social media. You might know him as TheAutismDad online.

    Rob's children are in their early adult years so I wanted to hear from the perspective of a parent who is supporting young adult autistic children. Most of our listeners here are in the stage of raising younger children and I know they are excited to hear from someone who has been there, and done that.
