Live Q&A: Real Meltdowns, Real Solutions

Listen on the player below

In this week's AIM, we listen in to highlights from a recent YouTube livestream Q&A I hosted along with an autism parent. 


Together we discuss tips and learnings from our 60+ years experience.


And we answer questions like:



  1.  How can I help an autistic child with co-regulation techniques that don't require any touching or verbal communication as they can refuse any kind of hugs, cuddles or verbal guidance?

  2. Any tips for teachers experiencing this before they get to build a strong relationship?

  3. How do you combat parent alienation when the other parent "gives in" and doesnt follow through when you're the parent trying to instill boundries and safety?

  4. Would this be the same approach in divorce situation?



Listen to the highlights on the audio player above! Or learn more below...

Live Q&A: Real Autistic Meltdowns, Real Solutions


Parents of autistic children… Do you ever feel like the very moment your child has a meltdown, is the very moment your mind goes blank? And you don’t know what to do?


Meltdowns are a part of learning, but they also trigger big emotions for kids and parents.


There’s lots of advice online. But meltdowns are personal, every child is different.


So I hosted a live Q&A where parents asked real questions about their child’s meltdowns.


AND I gave practical solutions to calm their child and reduce future overwhelm, all based on 25 years of directly supporting autistic children.
