From all of us at Autism Speaks, happy Father's Day to the dads
and father figures in our community! We hope your special day is
filled with love, laughter and quality time with the ones you love. In
this edition of E-Speaks we'll hear from three autistic dads,
who share what life has been like since the birth of their children.
Ron, Phil and Eric share their unique perspectives on fatherhood, the
importance of passing down life lessons to their children and how
their autism continues to shape their parenting styles.

You'll also find creative activities to share with your
children as you navigate this socially distant summer. We've put
together a list of fun activities and socially distant camps that will
keep your family entertained and active.


Meet Ron L., 45

Meet Eric K., 29

Eric has come a long way since being diagnosed with autism at 13. He credits his wife, Tsivya, and the birth of their daughter, Gemma, in October 2019, on helping to
provide him with new perspective on life especially when it comes to
prioritizing what's important and focusing on living in the moment.
