Finding the Joy and Blessings of Fathering a Child with Autism with Randy Hain

Every dad has expectations when a baby is on the way. Those expectations include elements of athleticism, attractiveness, brilliance, and greatness. This image dads hold in their imagination of their coming child is normal but it is not always true.   Randy Hain, author, and Founder and President of Serviam Partners, joins me to talk about fathering a child with special needs, specifically autism. Randy’s perspective on this will challenge and uplift you.   Randy shares his thoughts on dealing with blaming yourself for your child’s condition, managing anger, the importance of community, planning for the future, and the joys associated with a child with special needs.   Check out Randy’s book, Special Children, Blessed Fathers - https://amzn.to/4iQy8e6   Other books by Randy: Practical Virtue - https://amzn.to/3FJowTG Becoming a More Thoughtful Leader - https://amzn.to/3FUc9Ec Being Fully Present - https://amzn.to/423PcG7   —   Get your FREE 7-day devotional download: https://fatheringourfuture.com/2025/03/22/free-7-day-devotional/   Get your copy of the new devotional for dads, Following Our Father: https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params=VA6KP8OJ9Nh6EJM8xkhLDg1exkXKTtM9kswBjBoKxmD (Amazon options: https://amzn.to/427aK4L)   Get your free gift, a copy of Cut The Crap (E-book): https://fatheringourfuture.com/2024/08/04/free-download-for-new-dads/   MERCH: https://fatheringourfuture.printify.me/products   Become a financial partner with Fathering Our Future and make a direct impact on dads: https://fatheringourfuture.com/support/
