Parents of students and adults with Autism need support that is fit for the age of their loved one with Autism and Asperger. Parent Coaching for Autism and a Parent Support Specialist in neurodiversity can help.
Parents of Autism have access to many resources that were not available in the past.
From a new diagnosis of Autism at age three, to a late diagnosis of Autism as a teen and how to parent Autism at any age. Some resources are helpful and others are not. What parents find helpful depends on their child’s issues and age. The attitude of the expert also seems to be impactful, whether positively or not.
Parent Support and Parent Coaching for Autism can be a sensitive topic. Some report feeling judged and inept. Coaching can feel like advice giving and the end result is feeling bad about one’s self as a parent. There are no easy fixes and it’s not one size fits all when it comes to being a parent of a student or adult with Autism.
Fortunately, Parent Coaching for Autism today is less about old-style ABA. Parent Support is more about a partnership between parent and coach with a focus on the parent’s identified goals. It is oriented to the unique needs of the autistic person and the parents as well as the family.
