Description
Raising a non-verbal autistic kid is a rollercoaster - especially as a single dad.
In this no-nonsense, often laugh-out-loud funny guide to parenting an autistic child, James Guttman shares everything he's learnt about fatherhood - including reckoning with traditional masculinity and care roles; creating a unique communication style with your autistic child; navigating relationships with family and community- and moving from autism acceptance to autism appreciation.
With an exploration of the specific challenges facing male carers in this space, this book will help dads, and parents of all genders, reach a point of understanding, equilibrium and joy on their parenting journey.

James Guttman's Hi World, I'm Dad is a decent exploration of what it means to be a male carer.
He tells everything as they are, and this book is not a self-indulgent telling of his personal experience. He talks about the lesser considered and specific cases of being a parent, a father, and a father to neurodivergent children.
His voice is authentic and relatable.
I highly recommend this book to all parents, but especially fathers of autistic children.

This was thoughtful and very authentic! I appreciated how genuine Guttman's writing voice is and how he meets readers (particularly parents) where they are with their understanding of autism and parenting as a single dad. (as well as his nuanced perspectives on both). This seems like the kid of book that could help other dads feel less alone.
