For the first ever bonus episode, beginning a series of bonus episodes, I attempt to convince my son Logan to have a conversation with me on mic. He's not overly enthused with it and as expected, it only lasts a couple minutes. For those of you who don't know what having a chat with a little one with ASD is like, well...here ya go! Enjoy!
