Welcome to Jesse’s Joy! We started this channel to share the real and raw experiences of our 14-year-old autistic son, Jesse, who also navigates life with hyperlexia, OCD, and is a Gestalt Language Processor. This journey hasn’t been easy—Jesse’s younger years were incredibly hard for our family, and we understand the struggles that many parents face. But through it all, we’ve also discovered moments of joy, growth, and hope. Our goal is to provide an honest look at what it’s like raising an autistic child, sharing both the challenges and the positives, so that families like ours can find connection, inspiration, and reassurance. Follow along as we continue to learn from Jesse’s unique perspective, and see that while this path can be tough, it can also lead to unexpected and beautiful places.
