As a parent, here is my own tip on how we can handle a meltdown.

First, make sure that what your child is having is a meltdown and not a tantrum because they should be handled very differently. A meltdown means that your child has lost their ability to manage their emotions due to overwhelm. They are not trying to behave inappropriately; they just do not know what to do to get back to themselves. This is where you come in. You need to create calm by reducing stimulation (turn off the TV, Lights, music, and remove other noises or people from the space. STOP TALKING, bargaining, or trying to convince your child to behave. Provide space physically and emotionally, and be patient. You can not talk your child down from a meltdown. The best method is proactive, meaning getting in front of meltdowns is the best option because it's happening, and only your child knows how long it will last. Look for the warning signs, covering ears, getting loud, pacing, looking distressed or frustrated. This is the golden time when you can step in and avert a meltdown by reducing stimulation in the environment by allowing your child to go to a designated place of peace (sensory corner, outside, a tented area, putting on their headphones, etc).

Our kids have trouble expressing themselves, but that does not mean they have nothing to say. This is why having an AAC matters.

For many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), communication does not always look the way society expects it to. While some autistic children develop spoken language, others communicate in different ways—or may not use speech at all. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) plays a critical role in supporting communication for autistic children, offering them a reliable way to express needs, thoughts, emotions, and ideas.

AAC is not a last resort. It is a powerful tool that supports language development, autonomy, and connection for children across the autism spectrum.

Communication challenges are a core characteristic of autism, but the inability to speak does not equal the inability to understand or communicate. AAC gives autistic children a way to be heard, reducing frustration and supporting emotional regulation.

Parents deserve answers, not delays. Being told to “wait and see” when you have concerns about your child’s development can cost valuable time. If you suspect autism, you have the right to ask for referrals, seek a developmental psychologist, and advocate for early evaluation and support. Trust your instincts. Early action matters.

If you need guidance or support navigating this process, comment HELP below.

Public service: Free consultations, 2 per person.

Last week, I learned about the Mosman Park family double murder case. Even though this is happening in Australia, it deeply pains me to see the level of hopelessness the parents have reached. As a mom of an adult with autism, I can empathize with their struggles. This situation truly breaks my heart. No one should ever feel this alone or isolated.

I know that parents of children with autism often find it difficult to get enough rest or sleep, which is why community and support are so important. To anyone who is struggling with raising a child with autism, or who may be financially unable to seek help, I am offering two free 10-minute consultations per person. I hope that in my small way, I can help you feel supported.

If the DMs and comments get flooded, I will not be able to respond individually, but I'll share the link here.

A parent asked and here's my answer:

Yes I have an adult child who left home for college, lived on their own in a dorm single (tried to have a roommate but that was short lived). My child is now a sophomore in college and works part time at the local grocery store. Anything is possible for your child depending on their individual needs and abilities. We are currently working on driving so if you pray, pray for us.
