Writing Your Child’s Severe Autism Story At School

Send us Fan MailA single email from school can change your whole day when you’re parenting severe autism and already running on fumes. We share what it looks like when classroom behavior reports, delayed meetings, and vague “behavior team” guidance collide with the reality at home.We start with a few real-life moments that many caregivers will recognize.Then we get into communication and receptive language, including why English slang and sound-alike words can be especially confusing for autistic kids with speech and language challenges. I also ask listeners to weigh in on how this plays out in other languages and cultures.From there, the tone shifts into the heavier stuff: a last-day-of-camp meltdown, plus the surprisingly effective de-escalation trick a great staff member uses to help our son regulate. Finally, we dig into the school timeline and the advocacy lesson at the center of it all, and what it feels like when parents are left out of behavior planning while the system “figures it out” on your child.If you’re navigating IEP meetings, challenging behaviors, attention-seeking cycles, or caregiver burnout, listen through and take what you need. Subscribe, share with another autism parent, and leave a review so more families can find this support.Support the showhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1989825/supporters/newhttps://psa.buzzsprout.comGet Podcast Merch at the following link:   https://psapodcast.creator-spring.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Parenting-Severe-Autism-podcast/100083292374893/Email: [email protected]
