I want to ask you something and you don’t need to answer it out loud.
Just notice what comes up.
When did you stop trusting yourself as a parent?
And what would change if that confidence came back?
I ask this because so many parents of autistic teens tell me it didn’t happen suddenly.
It happened quietly.
Things got harder in the teen years.
Anxiety crept in.
School became more complicated.
Emotions felt bigger.
And the ways you used to respond didn’t seem to land anymore.
When autism, anxiety and adolescence collide, the ground really does shift and parents are often left trying to work things out while already feeling under pressure.
What I see again and again is that parents don’t need more advice.
They need space to step back, make sense of what’s happening, and reconnect with their own judgement.
And when parents are given a calm, guided space to reflect, to understand what’s happening developmentally, neurologically and socially — something important changes.
They don’t suddenly have all the answers.
But they feel steadier.
Clearer.
Less pulled around by fear or outside noise.
Because I see this moment so often, I’ve created a small, live parent workshop that sits right here.
It’s a safe, supportive space for guided reflection, where I’ll help you understand the psychology underneath what you’re seeing — and give you time to apply that understanding to your child.
Not a checklist.
Not pressure to change anything overnight.
Just a place to think more clearly, and trust yourself again as a parent.
If that feels like what you need right now, you’d be very welcome to join me.
