“If I meet other people and criticize their weaknesses, I rob myself of higher cognitive power. But if I try to enter deeply and lovingly into another person's good qualities, I gather in that force”

5 MAIN REASONS:

Overloaded

Your child will likely be extra aware and sensitive in both their physical senses and emotions, resulting in sensory overload. They may see and do things with an intensity other people don’t.

Misunderstood

They suffer the frustration of being misunderstood. They’re labeled ignorant when they’re confused, overwhelmed, and trying to do their best. The daily struggle to ‘get it right’ can become too much.

Anxiety

Being trapped in a mindset so different from others and feeling that there’s no way out. The confusion, blur, and fog, when stuck in this space, is often so great, that it’s difficult to verbalize.

Hopeless

The feeling of being different yet wanting to belong. It can feel there’s no way out of the isolation.

Scared

Feeling there isn’t a framework to understand the multitude of different symptoms. This is what led me to write the A-List Formula™ with the 3R’s™. Within minutes, parents can make sense of the big picture and have a clear path to success.

5 QUICK FIXES

  • Look at the big picture; focus on your child’s many strengths as opposed to his/her weaknesses.
  • Familiarize yourself with the A-List Formula™ Framework
  • Discover how you can help desensitize your child from being overstimulated (eg. Earplugs, loose clothing, etc)
  • Take time to be kind. Nurturing relationships repair so much of the struggle.
  • Laugh!

HOW TO HELP

  • Be aware of their extra emotions and sensitivities. Understand it is part of who they are.
  • Uncover their gifts and talents.
  • Help them find their unique way of regulating/grounding (it’s ESSENTIAL).
  • Keep a journal of their triggers them. Understand your child, physically and mentally.
  • See things from your child’s point of view, it’ll unlock the mystery.
  • Become familiar with their main symptoms. Have a toolkit to help them. (eg. fidget cubes, earplugs, etc.).
  • Include the whole family in learning about autism, actively including, and helping your child.
  • Advocate for your child at their school using these principles.
  • Teach your child the framework and the confidence to self-advocate.
