As child-led therapists, our approach is centered on honoring a child’s interests, autonomy, and supporting who they are without trying to change them. We follow their lead, yes. But being child-led doesn’t mean there are no boundaries. In fact, boundaries are essential. They protect a child’....

Children—especially those with ADHD, autism, trauma backgrounds, or emotional regulation difficulties—need connection before correction. Phrases like “calm down” can feel dismissive and escalate distress. By replacing them with validating, co-regulating language, we model empathy and build long-term self-regulation skills.

On this so-called autism awareness / acceptance day, a note - a promise, really - to do everything we can to create a safe place for our autistic friends and family:

We see you. We celebrate you. We love you. We respect you.

We will seek to support you, not to change you.

We will work with you to reach a place of mutual understanding, not to bend you to our will.

We will take the time and effort to uncover, examine, and deconstruct our own biases, not insist that our perspective is the standard by which all others should be ranked.

We will listen for far more than words, and respect myriad forms of communication and interaction, not just those that are easiest for us, with our limited imaginations, to understand.

We will be mindful of the words that we use both in private and in public, always remembering that they have very real consequences for your lives.

We will ensure that you have a seat at the proverbial table, and that said table is not just open, but truly accessible to you and functions in a way that encourages your participation and leadership.

We will not abide the notion that those who do not speak have nothing to say.

We will not claim to be the voice of those who have not yet found a way to be broadly understood, but rather continue to search for alternative methods of communication so that they may raise their own.

We will fight with you for the services you need, and demand research into both the efficacy and fallout (short- and long-term) of any and all means of therapy / intervention.

We will be mindful of the language you ask that we use, following your lead when you self-identify, and never, EVER insisting that we know better.

We will hold each other accountable for keeping these promises to you.

Yes, on this so-called autism awareness / acceptance day, a note - a promise, really - to do everything we can to create a safe place for our autistic friends and family:

We see you. We celebrate you. We love you. We respect you.
