Our Autistic Family: A Father's Reflections on Raising His Profoundly Autistic Children

Deacon Demetrius Romanczuk serves Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Mission in North Carolina, is a retired educator with a background in special education, an Accessibility Coach with the On Behalf of All initiative: Toward an Accessible Divine Liturgy for Children with Disabilities, husband of Matushka Cathy, and devoted father to Luke and Kate, who have level 3 autism. Honest about his family's challenges, he shares how he and his wife approach them with a sense of humor, with the knowledge that this life includes a struggle of becoming more Christ-like, and the hope that in eternal life all will be understood.
