Creating Our Path with Autism & PDA
Manage episode 415706965 series 3361025
I am happy that you are here today. We're talking about something that's always vulnerable and very raw for me. If you've been following along for a while, you know about my family and how we're dealing with autism and PDA.
I have already done an episode before which I hope helps bring a lot of peace and comfort and hopefully hope to families that find themselves in similar situations.
For Autism Awareness Month, I wanted to do a follow-up on creating a path when dealing with neuro divergencies.
Whether that is autism, PDA, or any other challenges that you have with your kids, I hope this episode helps you embrace the process of thinking outside of the box and following your intuition on a very deep level when you have nothing else to go by or no proof that things are going to work out.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- How trusting our intuition is necessary when facing uncertainty in parenting
- The hope, humor, and deeper appreciation for the world of neurodiversity
- Our story of battling PDA burnout and the unusual, gut-feeling path we took towards recovery
- The need for patience and understanding in the diverse ways brains interpret instructions and the world around us
- The historical mischaracterizations of autism and how evolving perceptions are shaping the treatment of autistic individuals
