About Jack (your Host): I’m just a dad. We live in the Twin Cities/South Metro area of Minnesota. I have departed from my military career a divorced custodial father. Dedicated to raising my son diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at the age of 7. He is so amazing, and I wouldn’t have him any other way but Aspie. I have embarked on a journey of education, experience and understanding. My mission here is to clear a pathway for other dads like me and share with them that which we all seek-knowledge and acceptance of our children, ourselves. I know that I felt very alone in terms of understanding my own male centered perspective of acceptance and unclear of what Asperger’s would mean for my son’s future. I have dedicated my new life to becoming the best aspiedad I can be. Through the journey I have examined my own life, my childhood, and explored my own experiences to discover that I too am an Aspie. A new set of challenges emerge-can an Asperger adult teach an Asperger child what he needs to know to survive and succeed? You better believe it. I have lived it. We have a multitude of instruction books to choose from, we have owners manuals so to speak for our Aspie's. Some of these get heavy with jargon and terms are confusing. So, I boiled down most of it, added in my thoughts/experience and just plain talk, some light hearted humor-we can all use that. I have found some good people /organizations to lend their experience toward helping father’s like us and still searching for more. So why not pile it up someplace for others to pick through and presto-aspiedad.com. We can learn from each other by sharing our stories and methods, both successes and failures. We really know Asperger’s and have wiped it from the eyes of our child screamed it to the sky in frustration...the chat around the coffee pot with other aspiedad's/parents is where the truth of day to day struggles occur and where we find strength. Like you- I live Asperger’s everyday in my home. I feel the triumphs and the pain I have cried and laughed and learned. I serve cake and ice cream because we graduated from hook and loop to real shoe laces, we get high five’s for explaining to a person that we are feeling over loaded and need a break rather than losing control and biting someone's head off, “you Rock man!” for making a smooth transition from bed to breakfast and got to school on time and most of all we laugh and hug and just listen to each other while never departing from the journey of this amazing realm of Asperger’s as we try to build self awareness and learn to navigate the walkways of the neuro-typical world. I love to get together and talk Aspie so drop me a line if you like, hope you find this site useful. Come back often as things will change frequently. Take care and hug your Aspie, just don’t forget to tell them what you are doing first… Jack-dad, an aspiedad. Not afraid to announce to the world here we are take us or leave us ...
