Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? by Jude Morrow (2020)
O’Donnell, A. (2019) in an article for BBC News Northern Ireland, quotes a Londonderry man, Jude Morrow, with Asperger’s syndrome about fatherhood.
"I would always try to avoid any change but I couldn't avoid becoming a dad.”
"The constant change with a new baby is something I really had difficulty with because it went against my routine and it really unsettled me.”
"I kept staring at him and wondering if he was OK."
"I don't always have an appropriate response to a situation."
At the age of five, Ethan had picked up that I have trouble showing emotion and often have a blank face.”
"My mum was looking after Ethan and he asked her: 'Why does daddy always look so sad?' "I decided to use that as the title for the book.
