That one day when I went away for the weekend and everything fell apart -- people got sick, people went away, the kid and his dad spent over two weeks on their own, and having to tell Campbell about death for the first time. It's an episode from the heart, telling a story that needed to be personally said out loud in order to move on with the show and to put an insane November behind us. 

Tell Me About November Please

That one day when Campbell does something scary, freaking everyone out, right there in The Most Magical Place on Earth. An episode about breaking glass, a freaked out dad, great Disney dining, and the importance of a decent wi-fi signal. 

Disney Wi-Fi Please

That one day when I realized it was "Diagnosis Week", and reflect up on this week in 2013, when we got the official diagnosis of autism on our kid... and a story of communication and hope.

Autism Dynamite Please

That one day when we find Campbell standing in the kitchen, evidence of the crime strewn about. An episode on the struggles of obedience, the resulting punishment, and the dangers of not following the rules.

Go Downstairs Please

That one day when they canceled schools because of a pandemic, and then we had to figure out how to survive the next (the last?) five months together with school and YouTube and trampoline parks and neighborhood parties and more. 

A Shutdown Recap Please

That one day when I decided to do the autism podcast again, this time discussing our adventures... our Splash Adventures... at the local water park -- including the dangers of the big slide and family restroom searches.

Splash Adventure Please

That one day when Sunday lunch at church took a terrible turn for the melty downy... in Autism in the World, President Trump signs the Autism CARES act... and thoughts on impulse control. 

Sunday Lunch Please

That one day when the kid recognized a classmate in a restaurant, to much hilarity.  Just a quick story in a quick episode.

A Quick Story Please

That one day when the kid got invited to a party and refused to go in.. because of bounce houses.  And then that other day when he had a blast at a bounce house party. A discussion about birthday parties, his struggles with local indoor playgrounds, Rock Star Whitton, and how to prepare for an autism kid coming to your typical kid party. 

Birthday Parties Please

That one day when the kid escaped a Whole Foods shopping cart... which leads to a discussion on how to shop with the kid at various places like Whole Foods, Publix, Wal-Mart, and Target. 

Shopping Buggy Please

That one day when we returned home early and someone was vacuuming, and the kid went nuts. Some sensory talk, the bad and the worse, why having a messy house isn't the worst thing ever, and some Autism in the World featuring Snow White

All Done Vacuums Please

That one day when we learned our kid had the autism, plus the months leading up to that moment and the days after. The mourning, the milestones, the fear of the second guessing and the celebrations. Plus, some Autism in the World, and a listener email. 

My Diagnosis Please

That one day when the kid had to poop. In a park. And that other day when the kid had to poop, in a park. And another day and another day... some poop stories from the front line. 

Potty Please

That one day when I had to do the podcast while the kid was actually running around.  I recap the summer together, with some bright and not so bright spots, while the kid makes his podcast debut.

Can Summer Be Over Please

That one day when The Lovely Steph Leann joins the show to break down the ABA, IEP, OT, and more when it comes to Autism, plus the search for a new school for the kid;  Also, in the latest Autism in the world, a heartwarming story at Universal Studios! 

Autism Acronyms Please

That one day when the wife and I were able to leave for a night and finally have some time away from the kid.  We'll talk in this episode about why time away is so important!

Gotta Getaway Please

That one day when a Fiji Water Bottle became the focal point of an obsession and suddenly part of a routine. Plus, a classic 80s jam sets the tone, and the first Autism in the World segment

Routine Obsessions Please

That one day when I lost my temper with the kid, and how to figure out how to push through my breaking point. And a few tips and ideas (and permissions) to deal with yours.

Don't Get Mad Please

That one day where I picked on a special needs kid. Back in 1988. And now, 30 years later, I'm fretting over my own kid making friends. Plus, a few tips to tell your kids on making friends with kids with autism.

My School Friends Please

That one day where the kid gets sick, then makes Daddy sick, then has multiple meltdowns while Daddy is sick. Also, communication challenges, how please/thank you is hard, and sometimes ya gotta be not with your kid.
