I'm a husband, a father, and a stepdad to a bright autistic kid. I chose to step up and become his dad, cherishing every moment with love, support, and guidance as he navigates his unique path. Autism offers a different way of experiencing life—one that brings fresh perspectives and sparks creativity and understanding in unexpected ways. I believe that as fathers, we carry the weight of responsibility for our families and must stand as strong role models for those around us.
