27. How to decide if you should accept or treat autistic challenges?

When should we embrace a child's differences... and when is it a sign they need more support?It's one of the hardest questions parents of autistic and neurodivergent kids face.In this episode, I'm sharing a simple 3-step framework I use as an occupational therapist to help sort through that question. We'll talk about stimming, aggression, sensory challenges, participation, and how to tell the difference between something that's simply different and something that's truly impacting your child's quality of life.If you've ever worried, "Am I pushing too much... or not enough?" This episode will give you clarity and confidence moving forward.Resources Mentioned:Get a seat in the new Beyond Behavior—Thriving with Autism Workshop: on Aug 19 (replay provided): https://yourkidstable.com/autism/Key Timestamps:2:48 Every child is different7:15 Starting with acceptance12:40 One important question17:35 A lesson from camp22:10 Moving forward with confidenceMORE RESOURCES FOR YOUReady for a simple plan to overcome the attention, sleep, sensory, and big emotion challenges?
