We are so incredibly excited to have had the opportunity to sit down with our guest, Nick Clark. Nick is a self-identified autistic and is a dad to twin girls, one of whom is autistic. It was one of those times when you find yourself not wanting to end the conversation because there was so much to talk about. What a great perspective from a dedicated dad. As always, get comfy, grab some snacks and a drink and have a listen.
