As a mental health professional, I get the distinct honor to hear the stories of all kinds of people. I often walk with them through the hardest parts and sometimes get to see the brightest parts. And I know as well as anyone: every story is worth telling.

If you take away one thing from this Autism Acceptance Month, please let it be this: Autistic voices matter. If you want to know how to help people with autism, ask them. If you want to know how to educate people with autism, listen to them. Autistic people are an asset to this world.

The PDA profile of autism is something that many are just learning about. It is not a separate diagnosis and not currently in the DSM-5. However, it is so important to understand this! For some, any perceived demand can trigger their fight or flight response. This may look like defiance, or having huge reactions to seemingly small stimuli. But for this person, it can feel overwhelming to hear demands, even when asked politely.

As a parent to a child with PDA understanding his responses has provided me with clarity, it has improved our communication and relationship, and it has significantly improved his self esteem! It does not mean that I stop asking him to do chores, get ready for school, or any of the other day to day tasks. It simply means that I think about his nervous system and how I can give him a sense of autonomy.

Have you heard of the PDA profile?

Neuro-affirming care is not always easy to find, unfortunately. This is support and accommodations for people to make the world around them more accessible. It is not looking for a “cure” or trying to change the neurodivergent person to better fit in a typical world. It is amazing how validating and encouraging this kind of care can be!

If you have a loved one on the spectrum, you may notice special interests. It’s important to note that many autistic individuals explain special interests as much more than hobbies, but a very important part of the. It is something they are passionate about that can be an anchor for their nervous system, a way to self-regulate when feeling overwhelmed. This can be anything! I’ve included just some of the special interests that I have heard but there are endless possibilities!

For any adult or child dealing with anxiety, but especially for autistic people, I recommend creating a sensory kit. Here are some of my favorite items to include. Create a small sensory kit for travel, for the car, for your child’s backpack, and for home. When you create this, think about soothing using the five senses.

I encourage families of autistic children and adults to make a plan for crisis management. Ask your loved one how they experience meltdown and what can help during this time. Notice environmental factors that may be contributing to feelings of overwhelm. Try to create a safe area in your home, a calming kit in your car, whatever may be soothing. I will be sharing some of my favorite things to include in a sensory kit coming up.

Please remember to call 988 if you are unable to keep your loved one safe during crisis.
