If we look for what makes us feel grateful, we will more naturally be able to find those things in the future.

If we find ourselves always looking for things going wrong, we will automatically gravitate towards those things.

Search for gratitude today. 🤍

I recently had the opportunity to speak with parents who have children with autism about how to prepare for holidays and truly understand why they can be so difficult and overwhelming for those on the autism spectrum.

If this hits home, check out the replay and other amazing resources and events from Caiden's Corner - The Ausome Families Foundation.

🎬 The replay is up, y’all.

We laughed, we shared, and a few of us cried a little ... because it hit home.

Jillian didn’t just talk about holidays and autism… she gave language to what so many of us feel but can’t always explain.

If you’ve ever gone into the holidays with unhinged optimism (thinking this time it’ll be different) .... only to end up hiding in your car with a sensory-overloaded kid and cold coffee - this one’s for you.

Jillian walked us through WHY our kids struggle during the holidays and HOW to actually prepare - with routines, calm spaces, and realistic expectations that don’t suck the joy out of the season.

She shared so many simple, real-world strategies that every autism parent can use today… and some beautiful reminders that we’re not failing our kids ... we’re learning with them.

✨ Check the comments for the replay link and make sure you grab Jillian’s amazing free resources in that post too.

Trust me… this conversation will change how you approach the holidays this year.

💙 From one autism parent to another ... you are doing enough.
