Hillary Clinton

Dan Olawski
Dan Olawski, Autism Father, Writer/Editor
"As Autism Dads we have many great opportunities to be joyous. Our children face a daily battle at times just getting through the day…each time they overcome those challenges is a time to be filled with joy. Perhaps your child has just beaten a severe stim, or tried eating a new food, or successfully used the potty. Let yourself see the joy in that, Autism Dad. I know my heart overflows on those rare times that Mikey looks me straight in the eye and says, “Daddy.” You don’t need to look very far for a joyful occasion (Dan Olawski, Autism Society, PB&J: The Secret to Being a Great Autism Dad)."
