Interview Answers- On Parenting an Autistic Child

Interview Answers- On Parenting an Autistic Child

I was recently interviewed, and I thought the interviewer’s questions were interesting, so I wrote out my responses. Alex: Every time I see you and your daughter’s relationship, I am blown away by how strong it is. Does this tend to be a common reaction with your followers? Yes, it does. And that surprises me because I always assume all mothers and daughters are this close. But I think the fact that we homeschool makes us pretty tight. We need to be, we are around each other every day! Alex: When did you notice that your daughter started showing signs...

Tips to Stop a Meltdown

Tips to Stop a Meltdown

I recently posted a tip on Instagram.  The tip read: You can stop a meltdown by eating something cold or sweet/sour, as your brain won’t stay in fight/flight mode while eating.  I decided to write a blog post on this because I received so many responses with good ideas.   I’d like to preface this by saying that there were a couple of people who thought the idea of stopping a meltdown would cause harm; that once a meltdown starts, it has to run its course.  There are differing opinions on this.  In my opinion, if you use any of...

Life is Hard for Neurodiverse Families

Life is Hard for Neurodiverse Families

Are there specific things you can point to that are harder for your family as a whole, or just for you as a parent, than you would say is typical?   This is a question I am being asked in a podcast interview tomorrow.  I wanted to blog about it because I can’t stop thinking about it.  I always am thinking about how life is more difficult for my son…but what about us as a family, or me as a parent?   Parenting is very hard; any parent will tell you that.  It is exhausting and energy-draining, time-stealing and anxiety-causing. ...

Diagnosing ADHD in Girls and Women

Diagnosing ADHD in Girls and Women

ADHD symptoms are expressed very differently in girls than in boys.  Research indicates that up to 75% of girls with ADHD go undiagnosed.  Girls on average are diagnosed five years later than boys (average age for diagnosis in boys is 7, average age in girls is 12).  These facts are so very important because undiagnosed ADHD can lead to depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other mood disorders.   Girls are consistently under-identified because of the differences in expression of ADHD.  Girls with ADHD are often people pleasers, and they try harder to compensate for and hide their symptoms.  They often...
