Introduction

My name is Todd Graham, no, not that Todd Graham sports fans.  I am not a therapist, I am not an autism specialist. I am a father of an amazing little girl who happens to be on the Autism Spectrum.  I decided to write down my experience going through my daughter’s diagnosis and learning about treatment options, etc. I am 32 years old.  I don’t claim any expertise in anything really. I’m an average person and wanted to tell my experience, thoughts, and feelings of navigating my child’s diagnosis.  

I work in Law Enforcement, I won’t say which agency to keep things private.  I’ll keep some facts vague to to protect my family’s privacy.

I grew up in Utah which is an interesting place with a lot of interesting customs which I didn’t realize were different than other places.  

I will start at the beginning and explain my experiences navigating through my child’s diagnosis. I will post more on a weekly basis.
