In this episode of the DTALKS Podcast, the dads talk with special guest host Jonathan Crow about his experience raising a son with autism. It was an eye opening experience.

Some of the content might be seem a bit on the WTF side and may make some listeners uncomfortable, but keep in mind that parents of kids with autism face these challenges every day. It's not a part of their reality and is not a WTF moment for them.

Two hours is simply not enough time to cover everything we wanted to, but we are really excited to share this glimpse into a world that a lot of people don't always understand.

Here are some suggestions regarding Autism from Jonathan

• http://www.tacanow.org/ (he said .com, but it's .org)
• Developmental Pediatrician that specializes in Autism
• Your state's Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) program
• Estate planning lawyer to discuss a Special Needs Trust
