We have to stop teaching kids that calm = regulated

MANY Autistic kids need movement and activity to stay regulation. MOST Autistic kids need access to their deep interests to move towards a fully regulated state.

Want help getting your child or students regulated in a way that teaches them to listen to their own bodies? My regulation routine releases tomorrow and I’m launching it on major sale!

Most calm down routines don’t teach regulation…. They teach quiet and compliance 🙈

Now… I’ve used these the wrong way for years, so I swear no judgement from me if you’ve made the same mistakes I did. But, I’ve been thinking about this for YEARS and finally came up with an idea that supports regulations in a way that allows kids to listen to their own bodies AND helps them become and stay regulated in a way that feels good to THEM.

It’s with my new Regulation Routine that will be available Monday, and 30% off for the first 48 hours! Be sure you are an email subscriber or have notifications for my posts turned on so you don’t miss it!

Have a child who seeks constant connection while your brain and body just needs quiet?

This is me and my son! He has high connection needs for regulation and I am sensory avoidant. Sometimes I feel like the worst parent because I just snap, “Don’t touch me right now,” or the million times I say, “go tell your dad about that!”

This is an ongoing journey where we constantly work together and are honest with each other about our regulation needs. But the two main things that have helped: 1: Me intentionally front loading connection times when I’m at my most regulated, and 2: Using a regulation routine for him to access when I’m not available.

Want to learn more about our regulation routine? Swipe to the second to last slide for a sneak peek and be sure you follow along this weekend and next week as I officially launch this product April 20th!

A few months ago I shared my personal burnout loop- and it resonated with so many people. However, I think it left out an important piece- kids can experience this too, and MANY Autistic kids are stuck at the “No Autonomy” part of their loop at this point in the school year.

Also want to add that it’s not always that parents don’t understand- MANY parents do understand but don’t have many options outside of public schooling which can be very overwhelming for many of our kids, especially those with PDA and/or higher support needs.

Anxiety can look a lot of different ways- and it’s a very common experience for Autistic people. It’s often one of the first things noticed in Autistic people- especially non-stereotypical presentations and girls!

This was true for my son. Early on, it looked like perfection at school (I legit thought his teachers were lying to me), and high caution (not a risk taker AT ALL). By about 4 years, he would choose to sit out for games, talking in front of others, and large group or new (to him) activities. And now at 10, it’s a mix of these, but mostly well managed and supported.

Turns out… Autistic traits are super normal for Autistic people.

Did you get a diagnosis or suspect you may be Autistic following your child’s diagnosis? I did 🙋🏼‍♀️

👋🏼 Hi, it’s me Andi, spending hours creating this nuanced post that nobody will read (well nobody that says “all kids do that at least 😂)

Autism is a *Pattern of Differences* in social communication, interests, routines, play, and sensory processing. And almost all of these traits are typical - to a point. The problem is, it’s not a line in the sand or a clear cut definition between when something is typical and when it becomes atypical.

For example, I can’t say: flapping one’s arms is typical until 6 months of age, if one only flaps less than 2 times per week, at a speed of less than 15mph, that lasts less than 2 seconds, for the emotions only of extreme excitement, and so on. Because that’s not how humans work! Everything is nuanced. Autism traits can be subtle. And then can be typical for some kids at certain ages but be atypical for other kids of the same age due to quality.

But- with that said, let’s break down some common autism traits and talk about when they might be typical or expected, and when we should look into autism. Also want to highlight that autistic kids can do typical things and typical or non-autistic kids can do autistic things. We are looking for *Patterns*
