Podcasts about autism parents

We've touched on the theory of self-determination on the show before, but today, I'm thrilled to dedicate an entire episode to this important topic. Joining me for this deeper dive is Dr. Gina Riley, an expert in self-determination theory and motivation. This conversation will resonate with so many of you because it beautifully ties into themes we often explore here, like low-demand parenting and fostering our kids' natural passions and strengths. In this episode, Gina explains the theory of self-determination and dives into the science behind why it's so impactful, particularly for neurodivergent kids. We explore how it connects with autonomy-supportive parenting and discuss the three tenets of cognitive evaluation theory, which examines what fosters intrinsic motivation. We also tackle the hot topic of whether extrinsic motivators like stickers and rewards have a place and how to genuinely connect with our kids' interests—even when they differ from our own.   About Dr. Gina Riley Gina Riley, Ph.D., is an educational psychologist, Program Director, and Clinical Professor of Adolescent Special Education at CUNY – Hunter College. She has conducted significant research on homeschooling and unschooling, an educational method and philosophy that advocates student intrinsic motivation as a primary means for learning. In addition to her research on self-directed learning environments, Dr. Riley has expertise in Supported Decision Making, an alternative to guardianship for students with disabilities. She is a faculty advisor for Supported Decision Making New York, promoting autonomy and self-determination for individuals with disabilities.  Dr.Riley also has extensive experience in online, hybrid, and HyFlex education, having been actively involved in the field since 1998. Her contributions to educational psychology and alternative education models have been influential in shaping contemporary discussions on personalized and flexible learning approaches. Dr. Riley is the author of numerous academic articles and three books, including Unschooling:Exploring Learning Beyond the Classroom (Palgrave, 2020), The Homeschooling Starter Guide (Simon & Schuster, 2021), and The Joys of Self Determined Learning: A Collection of Essays (Ricci Publishing, 2022). She is the current President-Elect of the New York State Association of Teacher Educators.   Things you'll learn from this episode What self-determination theory is, and how it's connected to intrinsic motivation Why a sense of competence, autonomy, and relatedness, as outlined in the cognitive evaluation theory, are crucial for motivation Why it matters that parents focus on facilitating autonomy and decision-making in their children What the science says about how and why intrinsic motivation leads to better academic and social outcomes in adulthood How intrinsic and extrinsic motivations can coexist and why it's important that they're balanced   Resources mentioned Dr. Gina Riley's website Gina on Instagram Gina on Twitter Unschooling: Exploring Learning Beyond the Classroom by Dr. Gina Riley The Homeschooling Starter Guide: How to Create and Adapt the Best Education Action Plan for Your Needs by Dr. Gina Riley NYS Decision Making Curriculum (free decision making curriculum for schools and homeschools I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World by Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards on Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World (Tilt Parenting podcast) Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Dan Pink The intrinsic motivation of Richard Ryan and Edward Deci The Self-Driven Child, with William Stixrud and Ned Johnson (Tilt Parenting podcast) The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

What does the word capable mean to you? My guest, Dr. Deborah Winking, defines a capable person as an individual living a meaning-filled life determined by them and those who love them with the maximum level of autonomy and agency that they can achieve and authentically access. She's on a mission to show that there's a version of capable for every child that is unique to them, and it's what she writes about in her new book, Raising Capable Kids. The 12 Habits Every Parent Needs Regardless of their Child's Label or Challenge. Deborah, an educator, school leader, consultant and researcher, has a Ph.D in Educational Psychology, and is the mother of four children, including one child born with a rare neurological syndrome. She's worn many hats over the course of her career, including working with and advocating for countless children and families, teaching at the New England Center for Autism where she started the first work experience and supported employment program there, and conducting a 5-year evaluation of the New York City Schools Early Childhood Inclusive Education Initiative. She currently works in a public school teaching bilingual disabled learners. In addition to the book we're talking about today, Deborah is also the author of a memoir called Capable: A Story of Triumph For Children the World has Judged as "Different.” But for today's show, Deb shared the story of raising her son Jack and how focusing on the near future, or the next 15 yards as she calls it, helped her stay grounded. We also explored the concept of capable through multiple examples, the role of agency, our vision as parents, and more. I hope you enjoy our conversation!   About Deborah Winking, Ph.D Deborah Winking, Ph.D is the mother of four (including one child born with a rare neurological syndrome), and has worked with and advocated for countless children and families over the years as an educator, school leader, consultant and researcher.  Deborah has a Ph.D in Educational Psychology from the University of Illinois. She taught students with autism at the New England Center for Autism and started the first work experience and supported employment program there; designed the authentic and portfolio assessment program for the Minneapolis Public Schools; conducted the 5 year evaluation of the New York City Schools Early Childhood Inclusive Education Initiative; worked at the University of Washington Center for Educational Leadership training school leaders and teachers across the country in equity based and student centered instructional practices. She currently works in a public school teaching bilingual learners with disabilities. Deborah is the author of two books Capable, and Raising Capable Kids-The 12 Habits Every Parent Needs Regardless of label or Challenge.   Things you'll learn from this episode How parents who are raising their kids to be capable share important mindsets and behaviors What it means to be capable, defined as living a meaningful life with autonomy and agency Why setting a vision of being capable with your child important, and how can it be adjusted as necessary How self-compassion and learning from mistakes are crucial in the parenting journey   Resources mentioned for Raising Capable Kids, Regardless of Diagnosis or Challenge Dr. Deborah Winking's website Raising Capable Kids.

There are so many parenting styles — attachment, helicopter, positive, peaceful, authoritarian, authoritative, and on and on. And those of us parenting neurodivergent kids know there is no one-size-fits-all approach for navigating the day-to-day, even when our big picture goal is similar — to raise children who grow up to know themselves deeply and are prepared to live self-actualized lives, whatever that may look like for them. So I really loved learning about the focus of Dr. Emily Edlynn's work on autonomy-supportive parenting, which she defines as “raising our children to understand their authentic selves, including developing self-respect, self-worth, behaving by values, the ability to self-govern, and feeling a sense of volition, or control over choices and actions.” She explains how to do this in her new book, Autonomy Supportive Parenting: Reduce Parental Burnout and Raise Competent, Confident Children, and that's what we get into in today's show. During this conversation, we talk about the ways in which autonomy-supportive parenting nurtures a child's autonomy, competence, and relatedness, which are actually the three needs that must be met according to self-determination theory, what “controlling parenting” is and how it can have negative effects on a child's well-being, and how to balance autonomy support with appropriate support and intervention when parenting a neurodivergent child or a child who is experiencing mental health challenges. We also discussed what keeps parents from adopting autonomy supportive parenting and how to navigate it when one's partner isn't on the same page in terms of parenting approach. About Dr. Emily Edlynn Dr. Emily Edlynn is a clinical psychologist, author, mother of three, and co-host of the Psychologists Off the Clock podcast. She pens the regular parenting advice column, Ask Your Mom, for Parents.com, has written for national outlets such as Washington Post, Scary Mommy, and Motherly, and has been featured as an expert across parenting articles in outlets such as the New York Times, CNN, and BBC. Emily works with children, teens, and families as the Director of Pediatric Behavioral Medicine at a private practice in Oak Park, IL. She lives in Oak Park with her endlessly supportive partner, three opinionated and charming children, and two rescue dogs. Emily's new book, Autonomy-Supportive Parenting: Reduce Parental Burnout and Raise Competent, Confident Children is out now.   Things you'll learn: Autonomy supportive parenting (ASP) is a science-based approach that nurtures a child's autonomy, competence, and relatedness What “controlling parenting” is and why it can have negative effects on a child's well-being How ASP can be applied to neurodivergent kids by providing external structure and scaffolding while still promoting their sense of agency How to balance autonomy support with appropriate support and intervention when parenting a child with mental health challenges What gets in the way of parents embracing ASP How to navigate it when one's partner isn't on the same page in terms of parenting approach   Resources mentioned: Dr, Emily Edlynn's website Autonomy-Supportive Parenting: Reduce Parental Burnout and Raise Competent, Confident Children by Dr. Emily Edlynn Emily Edlynn's free newsletter on Substack Emily on Instagram Emily on LinkedIn All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood by Jennifer Senior How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success by Julie Lythcott-Haims Julie Lythcott-Haims on Helping Differently Wired Kids Launch (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World by Dr. Devorah Heitner Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishment to Love and Reason by Alfie Kohn I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World by Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards Learn more about your ad choices.

On the Autism Spectrum, there are some people who are never able to speak more than a few words. The inability to verbally communicate indicates no lack of intelligence and it can be incredibly frustrating for those who have much to offer but whose thoughts and ideas are locked inside their own minds.Among these shrouded geniuses is 19-year-old Jacob Rock, son of Wild Honey Foundation Founder and Director, Paul Rock. Jacob's two lone spoken words are “yes,” and “eat,” but during the pandemic he was able to focus on his one finger iPad typing and his inner dialogue began to blossom into multi-syllable, complex thoughts, views and poetry. Jacob also typed that he was composing a symphony.To manifest this vision, Paul solicited the help of Wild Honey Musical Director Rob Laufer. Rob and Jacob began collaborating, composing and mind-melding and the result is a 71 minute symphonic piece called Unforgettable Sunrise which will be performed on September 30th, 2023 with a full orchestra from the USC Thornton School of Music at The Alex Theater in Los Angeles.Jacob's piece is autobiographical and it chronicles his struggles with distress, discomfort, stomach pain, self harm, frustration and ultimately, peace, finding his voice and the joy of creation.Paul and Rob join us to share their process in facilitating Jacob's self-expression. Paul brings his fullest heart to a reading of Jacob's poetry and together, our guests illuminate how we may all be able to learn the most from those who say the least. Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Golda (2023), in theaters and Silo on Apple TV+.

If you are listening to this podcast, my hunch is you're working hard to learn as much as you can about your child and the neurodivergent community. But the truth is, we are bound to not know some things and make mistakes. And I want to be the first one to tell you, that's okay! There is no shame in making mistakes as long as we keep on learning and try to do better further down the line.

My special guest for this episode is my sister-in-law and friend Gordana Tomic.Gordana, an inspiring mother and advocate for children with autism, joins me to share her journey with her son and my favourite nephew, Cristian. As an educator, Gordana has used her skills to adapt and support Cristian's development, whom she co-parents with my brother. Through her Instagram account, Life_Health_and_Autism, Gordana shares valuable resources and stories, expanding her advocacy to reach and support other families in need. Mentioned in this episode:Visit the Instagram page Life, Health and Autism for resources, strategies, and government funding information.Consider creating workshops to work with businesses in training employees or service providers to create better environments for neurodiverse clients and employment opportunities for neurodiverse kids.Look into camps, day programs, and sports programs that offer support for kids with special needs.Consider speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA therapy for support.Create a social story for vacations or new experiences to help your child prepare and feel more comfortable.Consider text to speech training for children who are not verbal.Use the term "selfies" as a socially appropriate way for your child to request sensory and anxiety support.Connect with other parents who have children with special needs for support and advice.Advocate for your child by researching, reaching out to organizations, and being prepared for school interviews or new experiences.Success StoriesRaising a child with autism can certainly come with its fair share of challenges, but it's important to recognize and celebrate the successes along the way. Acknowledging these small victories not only provides encouragement for the ongoing journey but also serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made. Whether it's a breakthrough in communication or a successful day at school, finding joy in the triumphs that may come can help maintain a positive outlook amidst the obstacles. During the podcast, Gordana shares her own experiences of celebrating small achievements in Cristian's development. For instance, she mentions being elated when Cristian was able to attend a school that provides support for children with autism, ultimately enabling him to enter a regular classroom setting. Furthermore, she highlights small but meaningful accomplishments like going on vacation or successfully using text-to-speech programming to improve Cristian's verbal vocabulary.SelfiesA notable aspect of Gordana's interview is her sharing of the concept of "selfies" in relation to her son Cristian's sensory and anxiety needs. The term refers to the soothing action of touching his head or leg for comfort, which Cristian would normally request from someone else. Teaching independence and self-regulation is essential in helping children with autism navigate their daily lives. Gordana speaks about teaching Cristian to ask for "selfies" by seeking out comforting touch in a polite and non-intrusive manner or learning to self-soothe on his own. The goal, she explains, is to aid Cristian in becoming more independent and capable of self-regulation, a testament to the creative and determined approach that can help parents and children overcome developmental hurdles together.Advice for parents of children with AutismParents of children with autism may feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities and challenges they face. However, it's important to remind oneself

Thank you Laura for sharing your story with us! https://oliscookiescompany.com/ My story started a little over four years ago when I got the news that my son had low functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder.  That day, I cried and grieved over all of the plans and ideas that I had imagined for his future.  I dove deep into trying to understand the world of Autism and how I would best raise Oliver. Soon after his diagnosis, I left my job as a chef and began my journey as a full time caregiver to him. Over these last few years we have made so many new friends that have loved, guided and supported us along our journey. I am incredibly grateful that my eyes have been opened to a community of so many special people with similar disabilities. I believe Oliver is thriving!   He is a very sweet and loving boy. I was told years ago to teach him to read and expose him to as much as possible. So that's what I do. We do things like soccer, swimming, baseball, surfing, cooking, traveling, art, community gatherings and much more.   As busy as I am with Oli, I have never stopped baking. It is my outlet for stress and anxiety and it's a way that I can express and share my love with people. I have been baking and sharing these amazing Plant Based Chocolate Chip cookies for over 3 years. I have finally decided to start packaging and selling them. It is my goal to continue to expose Oliver to many new adventures and help him thrive in life while spreading Autism awareness and acceptance one delicious cookie at a time.   https://oliscookiescompany.com/   _____________________ We would love a review on Apple Podcast, Spotify or Audible If you have any question, would like to be a guest: Contact us -  email:  inclusion@autismmastermind.co https://www.autismmastermind.co/ IG, FB, YouTube @autismmastermind

Denise has been on the Autism journey with her son, Nathan for 20 years, diagnosed with autism at 2, he is now 22. She has gone down alot of "rabbit holes" in the 20 years without a lot of significant change looking to help her son. Since finding the Anat Baniel Method NeuroMovement method as well as her own personal embodiment and healing journey, they are both thriving. The missing piece that she believes is the Brain-Body disconnect and lack of embodiment that her son was struggling with. Also since starting to really ALLOW and let him be who he is, healing herself and beliefs around who he was and the diagnosis, he then started integrating more into this world, feeling his body, regulation of his nervous system, awareness of his emotions, environments etc.  Denise helps families deeply connect with themselves and their children on the spectrum. She does in person NeuroMovement lessons as well as coaching for parents online using the Anat Baniel principles. You can find out more on her website at www.awakenedbodymind.com.
