My Kid's Got the Autism

Welcome to the page for My Kid's Got the Autism podcast!

It's a podcast from a dad who has no idea what he's doing...

It's a podcast for parents with autism in the family... or for people who know nothing about autism.

It's a podcast with stories and anecdotes and lessons and maybe even some wisdom -- though you get what you pay for.

Hope you enjoy, and contact the show at mykidsgottheautism@gmail.com
