Every parent or care-taker can sometimes feel overwhelmed; it’s a lot to take on when you’re responsible for a living, breathing little human being. When your child is on the spectrum, that feeling can be even more intense.

How do I support my child in a world that often seems illogical to them? How do I help them navigate emotions that aren’t easily understood, or cope with sounds, smells, and tastes that feel overwhelming, causing panic, anger, or fear?

And how do I handle the looks from others when my child’s emotions burst out because their brain quickly becomes overstimulated? Often, you can see it in their eyes: “You should have raised your child differently.”
And despite doing everything in your power, you may still feel like you’re not enough or that you’re doing something wrong - disappointing yourself and your child.

I recognize this all too well. My son is on the spectrum and was diagnosed with Asperger’s when he was five years old. That diagnosis brought many pieces of the puzzle into place for me.

I also discovered that my then-husband had Asperger’s, as I started to recognize many of the same traits in him. While my ex-husband refused to accept the diagnosis for our son and himself, I chose to focus on how I could best support my son.

There are many tools that can help and support you in this journey. And I am happy to share them with you.
But my biggest lesson? I can only be an amazing parent to my child when I also do what’s best for myself - when I feel good and confident.

Over the years, I’ve deepened my understanding of how to put this into practice. If I had known what I know now when my son was younger, I could have avoided many frustrations, feelings of sadness, and pain.

That’s why I want to share my insights, tools and knowledge with parents who sometimes feel overwhelmed, looking for support, and are searching for answers. Parents who are open to discovering the wonderful world of their child and themselves. Together, we will work towards your desired outcome, exploring your personal needs and those of your child along the way.
