How do you overcome overwhelm?
It’s a common trend I see in a lot of parents, the overwhelm, the feelings and reality of doing it all!! All the small things add up, the morning routines, the behaviors, the snacks, meal prep, groceries, bills, siblings, evening routines, getting kids to bed, night he waking spouse relationships, having fun with your family, finding a sense of alone time… it’s all so much. What has been your go to? Your peaceful place, your strategy to handle it all? Let’s give 1 piece of advice maybe that will help someone else❤️

@Katie Lents exactly the same. And I would struggle falling asleep myself. Got addicted to screen, scrolling on the mobile phone. Still am struggling a lot. Sometimes I do feel ungrateful as I see so many parents who are up all night because their children simply don’t sleep at all!

@Katie Lents no it’s me who does that. She is not into screens.After she falls asleep I spent an hour or even more on my phone.
What Did You Need Help With Most at the Start?
What was the one thing that you felt you needed help on immediately as you started this journey? Was it engagement and communication with your child, Or were the behaviors more of a priority? Behaviors are typically the top reasons parents seek help. What I find is that when we can focus on engagement and communication, the behaviors don’t seem to be taking up as much space. When we make time for connection, true presence in playful ways that your child responds to, that’s the regulation, that’s the key to help them stay balanced. Yes of course behaviors will happen, but when I’m VERY intentional with my time and presence with my son and clients, I see a difference, just curious about your thoughts.

At connection too. To get into her world and vice versa.
Name your WIN big or small!
When we begin to see the little things, the little wins and success and focus our mind on those, we begin to see those more often! What is your win this week!

I have been seeing more awareness and engagement. She allows you in her personal space and has started showing interest in others around her. Before this she would be in her own world
Leucovorin supplement
Hello! I was curious about thoughts on this, has anyone tried it, have you heard of it? We are going to start seeing a wholistic pediatric practitioner, as Adam has had some gut issues for as long as we can remember. I don’t know much about it, but my wife will be able to give me the run down:) Thoughts from anyone?

We haven’t tried it. But I am also looking into this. There is a small study from Arizona supporting this. It might be more useful in a specific subset of children.But I strongly believe it’s worth trying.I will share more details.

Yes, and for the FRAT antibody receptors.We don’t get such kind of kinds in the NHS. But I completely agree with you. It does need a holistic approach.
Second nature to me- but different around family
I made a list of things that were a bit triggering for me this weekend with family in town. These things come 100% second nature to me, hands down how I support my kids and no question in my mind. But when family arrives… I notice it, second guess it and feel like I need to defend it. - Their body needs to move, sitting quietly at a table isn’t always possible or comfortable. - They can listen without making eye contact or showing the nonverbal cues you’re used to. - They need extra processing time, directions may take a pause, or a gentle repeat. - Wanting to be alone doesn’t mean they don’t like you; it’s simply how they recharge - Just because they don’t show physical affection doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Does this resonant? How is it around your family?

My in laws recently visiting us. They haven’t been around an autistic child before. I have been constantly trying to tell them that the way they helped raise other grandchildren won’t work here. She is different. Does annoy me and even her nanny, but we haven’t changed any routine or the way she will eat, sit or play.
