EP 70: It's Only Applesauce - Severe Autism Therapy Backfires
Manage episode 516340947 series 3362345
A candid mention about staying when others say to leave, and how structure, safety, and short, clear language can turn daily chaos into small wins. From wall padding to therapy brushes to locks and applesauce mishaps, we share what worked, what failed, and why timing matters.
• reducing attention-seeking by replacing constant input with predictable access
• why soothing tools must be used before stress not during
• protecting space and reducing hypervigilance
• two to three word cues that cut through noise and guide behavior
• community expectations vs real support and consistent presence
• small wins
• next steps to lower ambient stress in the home environment
