Thanks for downloading my call of the day podcast you two can participate in my live radio program heard weekdays from two to five p.m. Eastern time on serious XM triumph 1 11 Frank. Welcome to the program.

Thank you for having me on.

Well, I've been married for about 14 years and have a nine year old son with autism.

And I've gave some advice and strong advice probably not to give to my wife about having a backbone.

I basically gave her a quote. Try not looking back at it. It's not good. Have some balls and speak up for yourself.

Example was my time. Yeah, I was just trying to shake her up a little bit to get her that you know, and she got really offended by it. And I, I, I, I see why looking looking back at it. I can, I can see why.

Example was our son goes to therapy and our therapist was being really unprofessional with her and kind of doing things that are not really good and she should have spoken up. She should have at least.

I'm sorry. He was doing things that were not good. He was being unprofessional. What exactly was he doing?

The therapist when my wife and my son were there, this is what my wife was telling me that when my son showed up, he was the only one there and there's supposed to be a group therapy.

So the therapist was just not paying attention to him and kind of doing other things and my wife was just sitting there and, and.

He didn't really speak up as much and also to she always keeps saying that your wife needs your son needs to be in public school. He needs to be more social.

And we don't agree with that. And there's been times to where you should speak up a little bit more with like her or other friends and kind of a.

Do you know that do you know how a truck is made?

Um, somewhat in person is one person putting in the wooden shield and the carburetor.

No.

One person does the windshield and other person is responsible for the carburetor.

One person doesn't do all the parts by himself.

Well, there are things she's strong at and there are things you're strong with.

So that's when you go to the therapist and you say I understand that people didn't show up and you took the time to do nothing.

I would like an explanation and if you're paying for it, you would like the money back and some understanding of what this is about.

Everybody is not as assertive as you are.

And you're right if she's very non assertive then leaping from courage to balls.
