EP.80 How Much Vigilance Can One Parent Hold Parenting Severe Autism

Send us Fan MailWe relive a brutal stretch of severe autism insomnia where bedtime turns into instant chaos and every tool we have becomes about safety and survival. We share the phrases and hacks that actually land with our son, plus the day his dysregulation spills into the neighborhood and changes how we think about vigilance. • using two to three word scripts for receptive language limits • “no touchy” as a low conflict boundary cue • “stay down” and “time for sleep” as bedtime anchors • the baby monitor breaking and switching to low tech communication • the sting of unsolicited advice about medication and barriers to care • hypervigilance after neighborhood access Please remember you can support my podcast by clicking the Buy Me a Coffee icon on your podcast player. Please remember you can always email me at contact.parenting severe autism at gmail.com. S.A.F.E.R.
