Howdy all! I’m baaaack! Able to relaunch my website and able to begin running a blog and Facebooking once more!
As you may think about it’s been a wierd 12 months. Wifey and I separated final spring, I wrote about it last August and since then I’ve been at a loss as to what to jot down about and learn how to proceed the weblog.
Why, you ask?
Properly for a bunch of various causes…
First, as a result of a lot about my writing has been our little household dynamic. Husband, spouse, and particular wants son. And I wrote posts about how nice our marriage was, and gave marriage advice, and even wrote a put up years again “to the dads that left”…. After which when my marriage fell aside I felt like such a phony… however I’m over that now, and understand that sh-t occurs, so it’s time for me to get again to writing…
However, what the heck can I write about shifting ahead?
The opposite side of my writing through the years has been to be very trustworthy about my emotions with reference to every little thing that’s occurring in my life. I’ve written about my depression, I shared my son’s seizure scares & VNS Surgery, I shared my dad’s eulogy when he died, and clearly I shared concerning the ups and downs of my marriage, and the ups and downs of elevating a child with particular wants.
Nevertheless, shifting ahead there’s some intimate/private issues that I can’t share or don’t need to share with y’all anymore. Clearly you’re not going to listen to a lot about “wifey” anymore 🙂 We’re on fairly good phrases and I need to preserve it that manner, so I’m not going to share a lot about our scenario going backwards or going forwards…. That is going to be a drama free zone.
So, I suppose shifting ahead I’ll proceed to jot down about elevating a 14 12 months outdated son with extreme, non-verbal autism and epilepsy (nonetheless has about one seizure per week), however even with that, I’m fighting what to jot down about.
First off, I’m solely an autism daddy half the time now, we’ve got true 50/50 custody, in order that cuts my tales and posts and interactions with my son in half.
After which when I’m with my son, these days it looks like not a lot is occurring. It typically looks like we’re going through the motions.
Additionally, I really feel like I’ve written all my greatest autism weblog posts previously. That’s why I typically repost an outdated weblog put up. I typically really feel like I don’t have something new to jot down about….
Nevertheless, each time I’m going do a talking gig the suggestions I get from you guys is you simply need to learn new content material. You need to learn no matter I really feel like sharing, regardless of how boring, or mundane, or grammatically incorrect it’s. 🙂
So for you guys, I promise that I’m going to maintain writing. I’m going to power myself. I’m going to be extra disciplined. I’m going to rise up a number of occasions per week and stare at an empty pc display and power myself to jot down one thing… like an actual author.
And as you may see I labored to revamp the look of the weblog, to make it look extra skilled. That was for you, but additionally for me, as a approach to soar begin my artistic juices…
And shifting ahead, on the brand new weblog, I hope to be that includes extra visitor weblog posts, together with extra from my niece Francesca, and from another particular wants dads & mothers who’re buddies, some who’re current bloggers and a few who should not.
Please be at liberty to contact me at theautismdaddy@gmail.com if you want to jot down a visitor weblog put up.
Additionally please be at liberty to contact me with concepts for what you desire to me to jot down about and what you desire to me to be shifting ahead.
I feel I’m going to finish this put up right here. I’m everywhere. As you may see I’m fighting what this entire “Autism Daddy” platform will probably be shifting ahead. All I do know is that it has been an integral a part of my life for the previous 7 years, and I want it to proceed!
I hope you’ll proceed to hitch me for the roller-coaster journey… with a number of new and sudden twists and turns for 2018!
THE END
