Understanding Isn’t the Goal. Trust Is.
Fri Feb 06 2026
This week, I talk about a moment that made something click for me as a dad.
For years, I thought understanding why my nonverbal son does things was the key to helping him. But raising Lucas has taught me something different.
I don’t always need answers. I need awareness. I need trust.
In this episode, I share how learning to respect what my son does, even when I don’t fully understand it, has reshaped the way I parent, the way I protect him, and the way I see my role as his dad.
This is about trust, transitions, and what happens when you stop trying to decode your child and start meeting them where they are.
It's Here! Get the book – “Hi World, I’m Dad: How Fathers Can Journey to Autism Awareness, Acceptance, and Appreciation” on audio, digital, or print.
