3 Misconceptions about Autism
Manage episode 503106168 series 3653279
As parents, we often carry beliefs about autism that quietly shape how we show up for our children, and sometimes those beliefs can leave us overwhelmed, guilty, or stuck. In this episode of Living Inspired with Autism, I’m unpacking three of the biggest misconceptions I see again and again:
- “Autism is the problem.” → Instead of trying to change your child, what if you adapted the environment? I’ll share simple, practical examples you can try this week.
- “I’m not enough.” → You’ll discover a powerful exercise to see the superhuman effort you put in every day, and how to release just one thing to lighten your load.
- “More therapy will fix it.” → Learn how to take an honest, compassionate look at your child’s therapy schedule and shift toward what truly brings meaningful progress (and peace) for your family.
Plus, I’ll guide you through a bonus practice—starting a Joy Journal—that helps you tune into the moments of pure happiness your child experiences. Because joy, not perfection, is the true compass for what’s working.
