I’m always looking for new sensory friendly activities for my autistic daughter. And sensory friendly activities for myself, for that matter. I’ve probably gone into it before, but if you don’t know? I have an aversion myself to some sensory activities. My five year old loves to play with slime.  But, my autistic daughter and I?

Even if my autistic daughter may require other tools so we don’t have to be hands-on with the slime. To go along with the upcoming fall season (and because NY is absolutely gorgeous at this time of the year), we’re trying out this fall leaves slime for our sensory play. How…

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…

We know, as parents, that the way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice. This starts when they are young and continues throughout their childhood and well into adolescence. Puberty does a number on any child, and at times it may seem that your teenager is going through a self-loathing stage.  Think back to when you were a teenager and I’m sure you’ll remember going through the same thing. It’s now, more than ever, that our teenagers need us to be their biggest fan. Or, at the very least, their second biggest fan (after themselves, of course). When you take in all of the peer pressure and what they see on social media and in celebrities; it’s no wonder that our relationships with…
