How to Prevent Violence During a Meltdown

How to Prevent Violence During a Meltdown

I received a request to ask this question of my Instagram community:   Autistic adult would like advice on how to stop swearing, biting, hitting and lashing out during meltdowns.  Already tried ripping up phone books and swear jars. Can’t use a punching bag.   I have had so many people asking for the answers, looking for some help themselves, so I am sharing in the hopes more people are helped.  The following are the responses I received.   “I have a found that once the meltdown starts, I can’t control it - so I’m not sure how to give...

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...

FASD

FASD

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD, is the most common preventable cause of birth defects in the world, and yet I had never heard of it before.  It is 2.5 times more common than autism, and research suggests that between 3.1% and 9.9% of children in the US have it (numbers are as high as 18% in the UK. 18%!!).  How is FASD so prevalent but so unheard of?   FASD is a lifelong, brain-based disability that is caused by prenatal alcohol exposure.  Early intervention for people with FASD is extremely important, so diagnosing early is essential.  People with FASD...

Autistm and Eye Contact

Autistm and Eye Contact

I’ve been thinking a lot about eye contact recently.  Both of my autistic kids have different atypical ways of making eye contact.  My daughter, who is nine, can look at you while you speak, but if she gets into an animated conversation and tries to say her part, her eyes flit and roam all over the place, almost like she is grasping for invisible words in the air.  We repeatedly did an experiment not long ago.  She tried to make eye contact with me while she spoke, and she lost all of her words.  She would completely forget what she...
