The Moment I Became a Gamer Dad 🎮👶
0The moment I held my son for the first time, I became a gamer dad 🎮👶. Fast forward 18 months, life threw us a curveball—Jackson, my firstborn, was diagnosed with autism. This video is part 1 of our journey as a family navigating life, love, and gaming on the hardest difficulty setting. From the highs of his first solo science assignment to the challenges of everyday routines, I’m sharing what it’s like to balance parenting, gaming, and advocacy. LET’S GET INTO IT!
Autism isn’t the problem—the world’s response to it is. Being Jackson's dad has taught me about acceptance, advocacy, and celebrating the small victories. Just like story-driven games and epic boss battles, this journey is tough, but it’s the most rewarding game I’ve ever played. Looking to make connections?
