(It wasn’t all loafing and spray cheese. While on vacation, I had several articles published in other places. Last week, Yahoo! Voices published a special piece I wrote about our son.)
“Tim, I think Will has autism.” Those six little words changed everything on November 21, 2005.
Our son, Will, had just turned 13 months old the day before — when all was right with the world. Less than 30 days before I’d quit my job. In just under 18 months I’d built a million-dollar company for someone else, and – with the help of some wizards – I wanted to see if I could do the same for my family.
We could have – and maybe should have – punted right there and then. I could have begged for my job back or, as some suggested, gone to work at Best Buy.
Instead, we went forward fiercely, lost at first, but relentless.
