This episode I talk with Pat Coskran, a father of 37 year old Sean, who is autistic.  

He has been a special education teacher and coach in the Special Olympics. 

He is also the author of "Growing up with Sean" found where most books are sold. 

He shares his perspective as a dad, finding connection with community in his way as he took over being Sean's primary caregiver; his struggle with his ego to be in control, grief and denial; the IEP process from the perspective of a parent and an educator, how the future will be for your adult child and the best way to prepare for that and so much more.
