This is what real autism support actually looks like 💙🎙️

Clint was invited onto MixFM with Sami as part of their Autism Week, and it was a great conversation.

They spoke about Sami’s son Nixon and how Clint has supported him through coaching and mentoring. Building confidence. Creating calm. Helping him step into new situations with more belief in himself.

They also chatted about what we do at Autism and Beyond and how real progress often comes from relationship, trust and small consistent wins.

This week is World Autism Acceptance Week 🌿
It is about moving beyond awareness and into real understanding. Seeing strengths. Supporting challenges. Creating environments where autistic and neurodivergent kids feel safe, capable and valued.

Sometimes it’s not the activity… it’s everything around it 🌿

A child says no.
Refuses to go.
Shuts down.

It’s easy to assume they just don’t want to do it.

But often, that’s not the full story.

In our latest blog, we share how one small, overlooked detail completely changed a child’s response from resistance to excitement.

Noise. Smell. Routine. Even where they sit in the car.

These things matter more than we think for autistic and neurodivergent kids.

When we slow down and get curious instead of pushing through, we start to understand what’s really going on.

And that’s where real progress happens.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is here 💙🌈

This week is a chance to celebrate the many different ways kids think, learn, feel and experience the world.

Autistic and neurodivergent children do not need fixing. They need understanding. They need support that respects who they are. They need adults who can see their strengths as clearly as their struggles.

Some kids are deeply creative. Some notice details others miss.

Some are incredible with patterns, memory, movement, gaming, music, animals or nature. Some need more support with daily life, communication or regulation. All of that can be true at once.

For families raising autistic and neurodivergent kids, this week is a good reminder that progress does not have to look like fitting in. Sometimes progress looks like more confidence. More calm.

Better self understanding. A child feeling safe enough to be fully themselves.

This week, let’s celebrate different minds and keep building a world that makes room for them to thrive ✨

Here's an update on how my meeting last week with a clients Behavioural Therapist went. Glad we could make a plan together for when this young fella absconds in the future.

Working together to better support our clients is a really important part of our role.

Many of my clients call me their best friend and in some situations that wouldn't be a positive thing for them but I always let them know I'll be their best friend until they find one their own age. And I always keep it fully professional and within whatever boundaries set in place with parents input.

I think the main reason kids refer to me this way isn't because I act like a best friend in the full sense of the term but I talk to them about their interests and I play with them, fully engaged. Not many adults in their lives are able to or want to do that.

I'm glad I'm someone they feel that comfortable and happy spending time with. I always encourage them to socialise more with kids their own age though and I'm so glad when they do make friends!

We give maximum support to our clients and their families not just during client contact time but also outside of sessions by often meeting with their therapy team to align our sessions and communication methods. This creates a clear path moving forward and helps make the parents feel at ease and confident in the time their child is spending with our team. ♥️

Sensory overload happens long before the meltdown 💭

Sometimes it’s not the noise or the lights. It’s the build up that no one sees.
The shirt tag that’s been scratching all day.
The smell of lunch in the classroom.
The change in routine that threw everything off balance.

For autistic and neurodivergent kids, everyday environments can feel like too much. But small changes make a big difference.

🌳 Get outside and let nature do its thing. Wind, birds, water and open space are natural regulators.
🕰 Keep transitions predictable and visual, not verbal.
🏡 Create a calm space at home that’s quiet, dim and easy to access when they need a reset.
💬 Focus on connection, not correction.

You can’t remove every sensory challenge, but you can help your child build confidence in handling them.

Regulation starts with understanding, not control 💚
