My HoneyDew this week is comedian Mike Lawrence! Check out Mike on his podcast, Nerd of Mouth. Mike joins me to Highlight the Lowlights of his fathers alcoholism, adopting his son, and his late in life autism diagnosis. Mike shares his villain origin story starting at birth, memories of being a kid at his dad’s AA meetings, and what it was like finding out everyone knew he was autistic before he did! Plus we get into how Mike decided he wanted to be a dad, what the adoption process was like, and the challenges and joy that come with being a father.
