My son is Autistic and I just found out that my daughter is on the High Functioning end of the Spectrum. When my husband and I would go to class functions there was only about 3 other parents that would come to any of the functions. One of the teachers told me that Most men leave their special needs kids. This was a Great Interview

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Salute to Fat Joe! I was born autistic with speech & nonverbal communication problems. I started talking when I was 5 years old and I was in the special ed until the 4th grade. I would attend speech classes and therapy throughout my youth. Long story short, I graduated from Berkeley College with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a 3.1 GPA in 3 years taking no semesters off. I also speak spanish fluently. The key to beating autism is never giving up and keep fighting daily. Practice makes perfect. Always work on yourself and your kids. Take vitamins and eat healthier. Drink lots of water as well. Take advantage of your interests so you can bring yourself or your child out more socially. Love always wins!

[@savanseng757]

Your story is inspiring! My daughter whom is 5 years old is not speaking yet but I’m confident this year maybe the year she starts speaking and eating! Just can’t wait til she do all that stuff.

Love Fat Joe. It takes a lot to raise a child and too see him be a father to his son when others would have given up is such an inspiration.

Great job dad!! I have two autistic children and they're my life! They've teached me so much! But there's more awareness that needs to happen for people that doesn't know anyone under the spectrum. So thank you for bringing this man and great that to create awareness. God bless everyone
