The Road Less Typical

Adventures in National Parks with Neurodivergent Children

Against the backdrop of some of North America's most iconic landscapes, THE ROAD LESS TYPICAL is a search for meaning in autistic identity and the balance between protection and risk-taking when raising vulnerable children.

Life on the road intensifies everything and is a recipe for sensory overwhelm, sibling conflict, marital strain, emotional reckoning, and spiritual transformation. When one child stops speaking English and another develops OCD, a near-fatal case of COVID strikes, and an RV fire erupts in the middle of the night, it's clear the journey is far more than the destinations - but an opportunity to discover how to live and love authentically every day.
