Today I am joined by Eileen Lamb, founder of the Autism Cafe. I recently shared a video of Eileen's son, Charlie, that really struck a chord with my audience. It showed how his use of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) had progressed over time, offering a message of hope for others in similar situations.Eileen talks openly about how tough it can be to share your family's journey online. Her story started when Charlie began showing signs of autism at 18 months. What began as updates on her personal Facebook for friends and family soon grew into the platform she has today, with a large following across social media.Among her involvement in the field, Eileen is also an author. Her first book, All Across the Spectrum, is an autobiography that explores her experience being diagnosed with autism after her son. It highlights the differences in severity and what it's like to parent a child on the spectrum while being on the spectrum herself. Her second book, Be the One, is a collection of prose poetry about overcoming life's challenges. Eileen's third book, And Yet Here You Are, is coming out soon.For parents raising children with autism, Eileen has some advice: Be mindful of social media. While it can be a great place for finding support, community, and information, it can also lead you into a lot of unnecessary controversy.#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Raising an autistic child with high support needs.A warning for parents on social media.Elieen's personal journey with autism and sharing with the online community.All Across the Spectrum, Be the One, and Eileen's forthcoming book And Yet Here You Are.Mentioned In This Episode:The Autism CafeEileen Lamb (The Autism Cafe) on FacebookEileen Lamb (@theautismcafe) on InstagramEileen Lamb on TikTokJoin us in the ABA SPEECH Connection MembershipRose Griffin (@abaspeechbyrose) on Instagram

Parenting a child with autism requires a holistic approach that focuses on nurturing the whole child rather than solely addressing the autism diagnosis. This comprehensive strategy recognizes that each autistic child is unique with their own strengths, challenges, and potential. By adopting a holistic perspective, parents can create an environment that supports their child's overall development, including physical, emotional, and social well-being. This approach emphasizes the importance of understanding the child's specific needs, interests, and communication style rather than trying to "fix" or change their autism. Parents are encouraged to celebrate their child's unique qualities while providing tailored support for areas of difficulty.   In this episode, I am joined by Nancy Masannat, who offers a refreshing and holistic perspective that emphasizes nurturing the child as a whole, rather than focusing solely on their autism diagnosis. As a certified Life Coach specializing in supporting parents and caregivers of autistic children, Nancy advocates for an approach that celebrates each child's unique qualities while providing tailored support for areas of difficulty. This episode delves into Nancy's personal journey as a mother of an autistic child, exploring the challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons learned along the way. From navigating the diagnosis process to finding joy in parenting, Nancy shares insights on mindset training, building better relationships, and designing effective self-care plans, all aimed at helping parents reclaim their lives and find more joy in their parenting journey. Tune in to gain insights on what autism looks like and how to effectively support, advocate for, and empower children with autism.

Parent coach Margaret Webb and Debbie discuss how to help an autistic child with low self-esteem.

They also discuss the window shade age, where children become aware of their differences from their peers. They emphasize the need to support effort rather than outcome and to make sure the child feels valued. The conversation ends with a reminder to trust in oneself as a parent and seek support if needed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
