Hello, I am Nicholas
Nicholas, a seasoned professional in the telecom industry, opens the door to his family’s world through Autism Raw: Our Unscripted Journey. With his devoted wife, Siska, and compassionate daughter, Assya, by his side, he shares the highs and lows of raising his non-verbal autistic son, Jayden. His life is a delicate dance between corporate boardrooms and therapy rooms, where spreadsheets give way to sensory toys and silent struggles. Refusing to indulge in sugarcoated tales, Nicholas writes with honesty, emotion, and occasional humor, offering readers a genuine glimpse into the complexities, heartaches, and profound love that define their journey. His blog is more than a record of experiences—it’s a place of connection, hope, and the shared humanity found in navigating life with autism.
In the chaos of autism, we’ve found a love so fierce it breaks us, builds us, and teaches us to keep going—even when the world doesn’t understand.
