The Autism Dad Dads Talking Autism and Parenting (feat. Eric Rittenhouse) S4E3
My guest today is Eric Rittenhouse. He’s the father of 2 amazing autistic kids and he’s here to talk about his journey as a special needs parent. Eric has a fantastic outlook on life and an inspiring approach to parenting.
I hope you find this conversation about the ups, downs, challenges, and victories of being an autism parent meaningful. It’s so important to share our stories because we’re all connected and we can learn a great deal from each other.
Maybe Eric will inspire others Dads to share their stories as well.
