Josh Papali'i found support in the coach's box while struggling to understand his son's needs.
Imagine not knowing what's wrong with your three-year-old son.
And, as parents, being unable to communicate with him and understand what he's going through.
Thankfully, for Canberra Raiders legend Josh Papali'i he only had to look to the coach's box for help.
That's why there is a special bond between Papa and Ricky. Having a child on the spectrum makes you a different person, having someone to talk to is a blessing. Seeing Ricky as a player and afterwards at the QBN Leagues to now, he is a different person, thank God.
