Hi everyone! Today, I will discuss how a friend ghosted me because I sent them a GODLY scripture and a song. I meant no harm and was only trying to help uplift them through a bad time they were going through. I was not aware if they were religious, so I felt safe to do what I did. I always strive to be respectful of others and would never deliberately go out of my way to offend someone. Thanks for listening!Follow on Instagram @lovemaycpodcastFollow for a shoutout!!! Mayc

Y qué tal si el autismo no es del todo malo?Y qué tal si todo esto es parte del plan perfecto de Dios?En este episodio dejamos a un lado lo negativo del autismo y vamos analizar si es posible que Dios permita que vivamos con el autismo o acaso, ¿creer esto será una locura?

This week's episode is all about those uncomfortable remarks, questions, and advice offered to you from strangers and friends alike. We all receive unwanted parenting advice from time to time, but there is another layer added when it comes to the special needs aspect to our families' dynamics.  Comments and confrontations can range from rude, to ignornant, to genuinely asking hearfelt questions. We've heard it all, and if you haven't, it's only a matter of time. We try to laugh about it and, most importantly, look for opportunities to educate. It's a tricky line to walk sometimes. Listen and tell us some of your awkward stories too! Instagram: @momstalkautism Email: hello@momstalkautism

If you would like to participate in the live show, join us on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or Twitch. Tuesdays at 10am PT/1pm ET. https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen?   9:50 Sorry if this is personal haha, but as I've come to accept my autism I've also come to conclude that my bowel issues are most likely related to it. Is there a reason why autistic people have issues with their digestion? Is it solely because of our (at times, picky) diets, or is it just a thing that happens? 20:27 We just started dating about 2 weeks ago, before we even had kissed I told him that I didn't like light touches, especially on my face, actually that I didn't like that people touch my face at all (I still haven't told him that I'm autistic). After we starting dating he proceeded to caress my face, he said that It was just to check if I didn't like it, I said that I didn't and removed his hand. I saw him yesterday and I feel like I want to break up already, he touched my face constantly and I had to removed it everytime, and everytime he said that he forgot. Not only that, he loves to touch me all the time, I can't stand it, I don't feel comfortable, and sometimes I don't feel safe (we are gay). The thing is that I like him, sometimes I feel like I am the one that's wrong because that's been a problem in every relationship I've had. 29:10 Hello, my son can read flashcards, and can tell you the name of whatever you point out if he knows, but I can't understand why he can't express himself on his own. He has 4 words he said on his own. 31:32 I have a question as to therapies and services. My son was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD after 3 years finally and he is 7 everyone says early intervention and clearly he missed the early part. My question is will he continue to benefit from services he is just now starting at such an older age?? 38:53 Hi, my son is 9 yrs old autistic, he started saying few words in last six months. initially he had one word speech which regressed at 2yrs of age. is there any hope at this age that he will develop more speech and language? 41:20 Yes what he wants. Like want blueberries, want iPad, give hands etc. want yogurt. 46:00 Hi Dr. Doreen. My son has recently been telling me that he is unable to focus at all, especially in school. Are there ABA techniques to help with this? He is 11. This has happened more since he has had many changes at school. (His B.I. was just changed and also his therapist, right after coming back from Christmas break.) He keeps hitting his head saying he is stupid. He is frustrated with himself. 49:24 Would an ABA center based program be better than school where he gets zero one on one services? Could ADHD affect his ability to communicate and his academics? 49:19 Would an ABA center based program be better than school where he gets zero one on one services? Could ADHD affect his ability to communicate and his academics? 52:00 My parents are both on the Autism Spectrum and I would like to learn how to bridge the gap and better connect with them.

Get ready for a lost episode of Ask Dr. Doreen! The Founder of the Center for autism and Related Disorders YOUR questions LIVE in real time! Don't miss it! This is the first episode of Ask Dr. Doreen during the COVID-19 quarantine! Please bear with us! Questions and times below.   Questions: 23:00 – Hi Shannon and Dr. Doreen, from Northern Ireland. I've written to you many times and received amazing advice. Here I am again. My son is verbal and is now 15 years old, autistic, ADHD, learning disability and anxiety. He takes medication for his ADHD and fluoxetine for anxiety. As I write this, my son is going through a difficult time with his anxiety and hasn't left my bedroom from Sunday. One of his fears is a particular singer who happened to come on to the radio in school last Friday. It sounds so irrational to be afraid of something like this, but this seems to be how his anxiety affects him. Now he doesn't want to leave my bedroom and has a panic attack if I suggest watching TV in a different room. I am really at a loss as to how I can help him. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me.   37:38 – How are we going to continue therapy in all this mess? I'm terrified but I don't want my son to regress. 54:34 – Hello Dr. Doreen and Mrs. Shannon, I've written in a few weeks back about screaming. Can sudden onset of screaming, anxiety, mood change, defiance to do even daily routine tasks, say no to favorite activities in a 10 year old on the autism spectrum be PANDAS, or is it puberty? Thank you.

Talking about ALL of the kids today. We discussed the ins and outs of parenting neuro-divergent and neuro-typical children within each of our families. Age gaps, sibling dynamics, and what we hope the future holds for each of our kids as they grow up and become more independent.  We hope you can relate to one or more of our stories today. All of our families are very different, which means sibling relationships can be very different. There is no right way to do this parenting thing, but hearing others' stories can hopefully spark some ideas to implement in your own home. Most importantly, we hope this episode gives you hope on how to discuss divergence within your own family and close friends.  *In what ways do you parent each of your children differently? What are their unique needs? *How can we talk about autism and our family dynamic in an open and honest way? With others outside our family? *Consider opening up to your children about your family concerns. How can your typical kids participate in including their special needs siblings?

Today we talked about trusting others to care for our autistic children. Whether family members, teachers or therapists. We talked about how we can gain that trust and also how to let go of our fears and find confidence in others. We hope you'll gain better insight into why we are sometimes stuck in wanting to control situations involving our kids. We also want to shed light on how trusting others can alleviate some of the stress of needing to do everything for our kids. *What is the deeper cause of distrust with family members/ *What can we do to help and gain more trust and better communication with those who care for our kids? *What would be the benefit of letting go of control and trusting?   Check us out and say hello Where to find Moms Talk Autism Website  Email  Instagram  Where to find Jody Website  Email Instagram  Where to find Shannon Email  Instagram  Where to find Jean Email  Instagram  Where to find Tash Email  Instagram  Where to find Brittney Website Email Instagram

I'm sure you've said, "I wish I would've known.." many times. We have. That's why we decided to have a whole episode on it! We're sharing things that we wish we had known from the beginning. Talking about family & friends, services, diagnosis & more. When we start this journey of autism with our families, we are sorta thrust into a lifestyle that we have no clue how to navigate. There are so many things that we are focusing on. One foot in front of the other. Trying to manage everything, including our emotions, and navigate the world with our new reality. Amid all that, lessons we are learning that we wish we would have known BEFORE they hit. "I wish I'd known ______." That's what we'll be talking about today!   Check us out and say hello Where to find Moms Talk Autism Website  Email  Instagram  Where to find Jody Website  Email Instagram  Where to find Shannon Email  Instagram  Where to find Jean Email  Instagram  Where to find Tash Email  Instagram  Where to find Brittney Website Email Instagram  

Ever feel caregiver burnout? Ever feel like you are in a hamster wheel as a caregiver?   Listen to this convo.   Grief isn't linear; it's a wheel of adaptation.   Dr. Nancy Miller, psychologist and social worker, wrote Nobody's Perfect: Living + Growing with Children Who Have Special Needs. In this book, she worked with four moms over five years and distilled their experiences into one book.   The model is derived from communication with the moms, experience of the working families, the writings of parents and professionals. "Adaptation" kicks in when we feel robbed of our chance and our Child's chance for living an equal life.   There are four stages, and stick with us as we will dive into each. Think of them like four hemispheres, similar to a Venn diagram nature, constantly shape-shifting through your journey.   The 4 S's: Survival, Searching, Settling In, and Separating are very real and relevant to understanding what we may all be feeling, whether it's exclusively or simultaneously.   Advocacy is a muscle, and this is a journey about endurance.   Hot tips and takeaways from the conversation to ease the distress you as a parent would experience at any of the stages:   Make time for yourselves, understand your feelings + create a support system. Honor yourself as well as validate your feelings. Always remain hopeful even when it feels hopeless.   All easier said than done; that is why we are here to offer the support we all have been longing for.   Check us out and say hello Where to find Moms Talk Autism Website  Email  Instagram  Where to find Jody Website  Email Instagram  Where to find Shannon Email  Instagram  Where to find Jean Email  Instagram  Where to find Tash Email  Instagram  Where to find Brittney Website Email Instagram

If you have ever or currently been depressed, this is a great episode to listen to dial into different perspectives and times depression has hit other parents walking the autism parenting journey. Depression can be really sneaky sometimes. It can also be a very heavy topic. Here are some signs + symptoms how it may present or manifest: Persistent feelings of sadness + hopelessness Anxiety + Irritability Sleeping to much or too little Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable Difficulty concentrating, making decisions + remembering things Low energy + fatigue Thoughts or talk of Suicide Some others not so quickly correlated but to be considered: Temporary Mood Boosts Significant Weight gain or loss Increase appetite Heavy Feeling in arms + legs Body aches or headaches Insomnia or extended sleep Extreme negative response to perceived criticism or rejection It's important to recognize when you need to help. Know that medication is okay if it is prescribed + doesn't mean you are a terrible a parent. It means you are a great one, because you are willing to take whatever steps necessary to support your child. Depression is a real disorder, even in the absence of grief, some of us are easily predisposed to experiencing it more than others. When symptoms are lasting longer than a week, reflect and see what you might need to put in place or in play to take care of you. We love you + we want you to love yourselves just as much!

Anger, a stage in grief that sometimes feels unjustified! What happens when we get our kiddo's diagnosis, and then we feel consumed by anger? In this episode, we'll be chatting about this emotion, its relevance, and how we each worked through it. What did this stage of grief look like for you? Was this something you sat in for very long, and do you still go through stages where you get angry again about this diagnosis? Here's what I'll say...your anger is and was valid. This stage is normal and not linear; we can walk in and out of this stage from diagnosis until we take our last breath. This process and journey through the grief of what we thought our lives would look like are normal and very different for each of us, so please know that you are seen and heard in your feelings!   Check us out and say hello Where to find Moms Talk Autism Website  Email  Instagram  Where to find Jody Website  Email Instagram  Where to find Shannon Email  Instagram  Where to find Jean Email  Instagram  Where to find Tash Email  Instagram  Where to find Brittney Website Email Instagram

Going through a HEARTBREAK can be devastating!! Losing close friends and relationships is very painful, but just remember it does get better over time (hopefully), or does it?! My experience with heartbreak is that time is time. Take things one day at a time. Some days you miss them more, some days less. Some days you feel better and others you feel like crap. It's all about the mindset and how close the relationship or friendship was. Happy healing to those who are going through it!Bye, Bye Beauties!Tag this episode on your Instagram to be featured on our stories!@behaviorbeautypodcast

Thea sits down with me to talk about her story and her family's journey with Autism. Officially and Unofficially diagnosed for a few, 7/7 of her immediate family members are on the Spectrum. Thea is based in South Wales, where you'll often find her working in her shed at the bottom of the garden. She's been married for almost 20 years and has five children and a gazillion pets, including dogs, rats, and chickens. Thea wears many hats and one of them being that she is an author of multiple books regarding spirituality. Check out her books here: https://www.amazon.com/Thea-Faye/e/B003XSYH5U?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1619579243&sr=8-1

Keeping everything organized and being proactive can make a huge difference.  It can be the difference between just surviving and feeling like everything is out of control versus feeling like you are accomplishing your goals.  Sometimes just taking the time to plan can feel overwhelming, but it can be possible! That is why I invited Amanda, creator of a special needs planner, to the podcast.  I just know that she is going to give you encouragement and inspiration. She will also give you tips and tools for how to plan for success and tell you more about The Glory Days planner. Check out the show notes here:
