Episode 88 | Mark Rembert of Spectrum Dads and Executive Director of Autism Tennessee Jessica Moore

For this episode, we have on the Executive Director of Autism Tennessee, Jessica Moore, and Mark Rembert, who leads Spectrum Dads. Autism Tennessee Spectrum Dads is a welcoming space for father figures of Autistic children, youth, and adults to find community and belonging. In this episode, Mark discusses the group and also talks about his son Eric. Jessica tells about her two sons and how Autism Tennessee helps parents navigate an autism diagnosis to figure out resources and next steps. April is Autism Acceptance Month in Tennessee. One of the reasons we started this podcast is because, as a dad, you love your family, but you don't always know where you can find community. As a podcast, we help find communities and spotlight them in the hopes that dads know they don't have to go through fatherhood alone.

You can also go to their website, www.autismtn.org to find ways to donate, volunteer, and their event calendar. Thanks again to Jessica and Mark for their time, and I hope you enjoy the episode.Send us Fan MailFollow us on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok YouTube.
