THE AUTISM ADHD PODCAST

• Denial to Dedication: A Father's Raw Truth About Autism Acceptance With Harry Psaros

  In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Harry Psaros, author of the Amazon bestseller "From Struggle to Strength: A Father's Journey with Autism and the Power of Hope and Positivity." Harry shares his personal journey of initially denying his son Gus's autism diagnosis and how he eventually became a passionate advocate in the community. He discusses the challenges fathers face in accepting their children's diagnoses, his practical "2% rule" for moving forward, and the importance of building a supportive community. Harry also shares insights about sibling relationships, maintaining a positive mindset as a parent, and what he would tell his younger self if he could go back to the day of Gus's diagnosis.
