“You should try disciplining him more. That always worked with my kids.”

Please don’t say this to an autism parent.

What looks like “bad behavior” to you might actually be sensory overload, communication frustration, or anxiety.

Autistic kids aren’t being defiant. They’re doing their best in a world that often overwhelms them.

Instead of judgment, offer support.
Instead of advice, offer empathy.

What’s the most annoying, frustrating thing people have said to you about your kid with autism?

Kids are people too. We need to remember we all have triggers. Kids are still learning and developing so hopefully we manage our emotions differently, but often the triggers are the same

Neurodiversity.

people have a far higher sensitivity and with that a susceptibility to developing and trauma responses to manage their environment. Trauma is about not feeling safe-feeling a hidden threat is near. Our -fight-flee-fawn response is on overdrive especially in triggering situations.
Understanding of our own nervous system and what’s going on is so important for the person but also their allies…

Thank you Trauma Geek for capturing this via lens of lived experience and expert-education.

We can take connection for granted. The bonds you have in your relationships are not permanent. Disconnection happens when we don't keep working on our relationships, or when something hurtful happens to break the trust. Keeping connection doesn't mean that we have to make huge gestures, it is built on small moments throughout the day. But it is easy to be so busy throughout the day providing the basics that we can forget the importance of these moments of connection.
