While we are setting up our afterschool at home schedule, I’m also looking at my autistic daughter’s IEP goals. This is how I set up our themes and activities. I do admit, I look to preschool and PreK for inspiration for themes as I still have my books from when I co-taught. However, I also know that I need to modify the activities to my daughter’s level. I have yet to figure out her literacy level but she is really good at matching, sorting, and identifying colors. So we take her strengths and also build up the weaknesses.  I can cater the worksheets for her and for this next set of free printable autism worksheets, we have a numbers printable.  How to use these free…

Staying up to date with my bills is not my strong suit. I am an adult, yes. But remembering to pay things on time? Not always done. And this just leads to additional stress because I’m worried that I won’t have the money to pay. Then I get worried about falling behind. Then I get worried about going into debt.  Just thinking about it is starting to give me anxiety.  One of the reasons I struggle with this? I have so much paper clutter around, it’s ridiculous.  This bill paying issue, for me, is threefold: money, time, and organization.

This will help the child be more successful in life and give them challenges to try and complete. Sometimes boredom can make things worse, so allowing their minds to figure out problems and helping them along the way can be really healthy. But parents must play a more proactive role when it comes to helping autistic children with homework. It’s not a case of sitting them down and checking…

I have been hesitant to write this post because of wanting to protect my daughter. And while I have done some sponsored posts in the past that have briefly touched on this topic, I also wish that I could revisit those opportunities. I want to preserve my daughter’s dignity and maintain some sense of autonomy for her. Even if she can’t tell me verbally, I feel that it is still my job as a parent. At the same time, this is one of those struggles that I went through as a parent of an autistic child. It was something I often wondered about but that not a lot of people would talk about.  However, in the interest of serving the readers and audience of this…
