How My Son and I Learned to Laugh Without Words
Manage episode 500426081 series 2950964
What if your child couldn’t speak...but still knew exactly how to make you laugh?
In this heartfelt episode, James Guttman shares the unexpected ways he built a private language of humor with his nonverbal son, Lucas. From early fears about never sharing a laugh to perfectly timed glances and paused songs, this story is a reminder that connection doesn’t need to be spoken. Sometimes, all it takes is a sideways look and a shared moment.
Whether you’re on your own autism journey or just need a reminder of how deep love can go without words, this one’s for you.
