In this episode of the Autism Little Learners Podcast, I sit down with Alex Lamoreaux—a mom of three, including two autistic boys—to talk about her personal and powerful journey with autism. From receiving a late diagnosis herself to navigating complex medical advice, Alex shares how she shifted from fear to confidence in parenting.  We dive into what it really means to trust your gut as a parent and honor the unique needs of each child. This heartfelt conversation explores the emotional ups and downs of advocating for autistic kids and highlights the power of intuition, self-advocacy, and community. You won't want to miss Alex's inspiring and relatable story. Bio Alex Lamoreaux is a late-diagnosed neurodivergent mom of three young boys and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in addiction recovery and trauma treatment. After two of her sons were diagnosed with autism, she dove into learning—and unlearning—what it really means to support autistic children. Now in the thick of parenting and advocacy, Alex shares practical, real-life insights with honesty and heart, hoping to spark connection and offer support to fellow parents on similar journeys. Alex's TikTok Account https://www.tiktok.com/@alex.lamx?_t=ZT-8xBXQBH46la&_r=1 Takeaways Late diagnosis can provide clarity and reduce shame over past differences. Parents often feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available. Shifting from panic to empowerment is crucial in parenting. Each autistic child is unique and requires different interventions. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to autism. Trusting parental instincts is essential for effective parenting. You do not have to fill your child's day with therapy. Trust your gut feelings about your child's needs. Parents often know their children best, despite professional opinions. Medical professionals may not always have the latest information on autism. Advocating for your child can be challenging, but it is essential. Bringing a list to meetings can help parents stay focused. Cognitive dissonance is common when navigating medical advice. Parents should feel empowered to change providers if necessary. Finding clarity amidst overwhelming information is crucial for parents.

Hanscom is also a frequent contributor to The Washington Post and in 2019 won the Small Business of the Year Award for the State of New Hampshire. Keynote: The Decline of Outdoor Play – And the Rise in Sensory Issues (90 minutes)As we continue to decrease children's time and space to move and play outdoors, we are seeing a simultaneous rise in the number of children that are presenting with sensory and motor deficits. At the same time, classroom teachers are observing more and more children having trouble with attention, falling out of their seats in school, increased clumsiness, and even aggressiveness with games like tag on the playground. So, how can we reverse this alarming trend of sensory and motor issues in children? How can we ensure that children are fully engaging their body, mind, and all of their senses?Using the same philosophy that lies at the heart of her popular TimberNook program—that nature is the ultimate sensory experience, and that psychological and physical health improves for children when they spend time outside on a regular basis—Angela Hanscom offers several strategies to help children thrive in outdoor environments using a therapeutic approach to nature play.

"My relationship with food is incredibly complex. I hate food that is unpredictable."In this episode of the Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss their complex relationships with food. They share their experiences with 'fussy' eating, body dysmorphia, and trauma-related food aversions. They also talk about the impact of neurodivergent traits on their eating habits, such as demand avoidance and hypersensitivity. They highlight the unpredictability of food textures and flavours for neurodivergent people and the preference for routine and familiarity.TakeawaysNeurodivergent individuals often have complex relationships with food, influenced by factors such as picky eating, body dysmorphia, and trauma-related aversions.Neurodivergent traits, such as demand avoidance and hypersensitivity, can impact eating habits and food preferences.Childhood experiences with food, including restrictions and negative associations, can shape an individual's relationship with food as an adult.Developing a healthier relationship with food may involve exploring new flavours, managing sensory sensitivities, and addressing underlying emotional issues.It is important to be mindful of how we talk about food and body image, avoiding negative language and promoting self-acceptance as understanding and supporting neurodivergent individuals' unique food preferences and challenges can promote their overall well-being.Parents should avoid labelling their children as 'fussy eaters' and instead create a positive and supportive environment to encourage trying new foods.Chapters00:00 RTN Sponsor01:43 The Complexity of Neurodivergent Relationships with Food06:26 Childhood Experiences and Food Challenges09:20 Food as Comfort and Trauma Response13:15 Struggles with Eating and Starvation25:15 Negative Associations and Social Exclusion27:10 Conclusion and Support for Neurodivergent Food Preferences32:10 Navigating Unpredictability: Food Textures and Flavours for Neurodivergent People45:06 Childhood Memories and Associations with Food50:42 Supporting Neurodivergent Children in Developing Healthy Eating Habits52:09 The Impact of Food on Neurodivergent Individuals' Cognitive Abilities53:07 Promoting Positive Body Image and Mindful Eating for Neurodivergent IndividualsGet an Autism and ADHD assessment in the UK with https://www.rtnmentalhealthsolutions.com/ Use the Discount Code RTN23 when you make your initial enquiry through the RTN website or the website portal.Instagram: @theneurodivergentexperiencepodFacebook: The Neurodivergent ExperienceYouTube: @TheNeurodivergentExperience Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

It is designed to help you develop and maintain the meaningful activities that are hard for your ADHD brain.Since needs can vary daily, having a range of strategies to address different challenges is crucial for effective ADHD management.

This podcast was originally released June 6, 2022 and though I talk about “real life” after the pandemic, many of the lessons still apply.

We'll move onto sensory issues, which many kids now display; are they visual, auditory, or tactile? How can you help your child manage this? And lastly, how I personally use my knowledge of my attachment style to bring it to a relationship.  Jamie's Homepage - www.jamieglowacki.com    Oh Crap!
