“How I Met Your Mother” co-creator Craig Thomas talks with “Enable: The Disability Podcast” about his son, who was born with a rare genetic disorder known as Jacobsen Syndrome. Thomas, who was working on the Emmy-winning TV show at the time, said it felt like writing for a comedy while living a drama. Those experiences helped inspire an unmade movie musical and a new book, “That’s Not How It Happened,” about Down syndrome and “the cliff” that families face as special needs children enter adulthood.
Thomas also sheds light on the “Band vs. DJ” debate from “HIMYM,” the music he had at his own wedding, and his advice for anyone who’s ever felt alone and afraid to share the challenges they’re facing.
“That’s Not How It Happened” is available now on Amazon and other major booksellers:
