<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>For almost twenty-eight years I've been an autism dad. Michael my son is autistic and non-verbal; however his quiet demeanor has provided me with an infinite source of lessons. Mostly through simple observation I've come to see life in a much different way. In short he's helped me to like myself much more than I did as a young man. This book is a simple collection of essays about the insanity we're dealing with currently in the United States. When I began putting them together as a book I realized every one of these essays serious or humorous contained a perspective I've gained from Michael's life lessons. We're a team. In life and in our books Michael quietly inspires me and I simply steer my words according to the directions he has given me. I think they're good lessons for any life especially in the ass-backward times we are experiencing during the trump years. (Author's note: I FREQUENTLY don't capitalize his name. He's a pathetic tiny man who isn't worthy to tie my son's shoes.) Please enjoy a slice of our life and the valuable lessons I've learned from Michael and others with mental challenges. They are beautiful souls with a great deal to teach us and this book is dedicated to all of them throughout the world.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>P.N.</span></p><p></p>
