How to Face the Uncertain Future as a Special Needs Parent

There are many things in life that I can face with confidence. In fact, I don’t have many overwhelming fears or phobias. Maybe the same as a few others. I’m not a big fan of heights, open spaces, or large crowds. Other things I don’t mind quite so much. Slugs will send me running in the opposite direction. But there is one thing that scares me more than slugs, heights, large crowds, and open spaces combined. It’s the uncertainty of my autistic daughter’s future. It’s enough to keep me up at night. And it’s one of the few things in life that I cannot predict or control. But now, with thanks to Bloomwell for sponsoring this conversation, I can at least have some peace of…

All opinions are mine alone. #BTSwithHP #CollectiveBias While we aren’t back to school until after Labor Day in NY, I’m still trying to do whatever I can to help Sweet B get ready. That means adding to and preparing for her afterschool at home program. And it also means going by her IEP plan to determine what we’ll do- both for the rest of the summer and for the school year. One of the things I’d love to work on with her are basics like literacy skills, counting, and using a computer. The last one is especially important because once she learns how to use a computer, I hope to help her find…

The Different Signs of Autism in Toddler Boys vs. Toddler Girls

Many young children are not diagnosed with autism until they’re in the toddler stage. It really depends on what you’re looking for with the initial signs of autism and if you’re mindful of the development. I’m not suggesting that all children should be diagnosed, of course. But parents should at least know what to look for. Especially because if you can catch the signs early, you can start therapy early. Early Intervention services were a blessing for us. Sometimes it may also be difficult to discern between a stubborn toddler and an autistic toddler.  After all, when your toddler is in the midst of an epic temper tantrum, we really aren’t going to stop and think- could this be a sign of autism? With an…

How to Teach Schedules and Routines to Your Autistic Child

I will likely say this until I’m blue in the face, but having a routine and structure for your autistic child is important. Any child, on the autism spectrum or not, benefits from having routines and schedules in place. This predictability provides security. Even young children can benefit from having a routine in place.  But how do you start with this? Many are not born with time management skills and many adults often struggle with time management as well. And really, it’s one thing to teach time management, but it’s another thing entirely to put that all into practice. Here’s how to teach schedules and routines to your autistic child in ways that make sense. How to get your autistic child on a predictable schedule…

5 Ways to Encourage a Loving Relationship with a Special Needs Sibling

5 Ways to Encourage a Loving Relationship with a Special Needs Sibling

As a parent of children with special needs and without special needs, sometimes I just had to wonder as to if they would have any sort of relationship. Here’s what I’ve learned when it comes to encouraging a loving relationship with a special needs sibling.  When Squeaker was born, it was like a whole new world of parenting had just opened up. Of course, it would weigh at the back of my mind, that maybe she would also be on the spectrum. I knew that it was entirely possible so I tried not to get too ahead of myself. But, as she continued to grow and develop on a typical level; my worries ceded. Now, however, I knew that I was going to be faced with…

How to Survive a Quarantine with Your Autistic Child

With all of the concern, and naturally so, about COVID-19, I wanted to share a few quick tips in case you find yourself in a state where they are enforcing a quarantine or if you’re self-quarantining for safety precautions. Really we don’t go a lot of places anyway, but here’s what I would recommend. How to Prepare for a Quarantine with an Autistic Child First things first, stock up on your necessities. This is common sense though so don’t go too overboard. But try to give yourself a little bit of a cushion. Secondly, help them understand what’s going on to the best of their ability. This doesn’t mean that you have to go show them what the virus looks like or how it’s spread….
