Autism 🤝 Yoga — Why are autism and yoga a perfect fit?

Yoga is all about STRUCTURE, REPETITION, and ROUTINE - 3 things that autistic folks thrive off of!

Yoga also helps keep people calm and focused. 😌

Plus, it's VISUAL which is a helpful learning method for those with autism.

To top it all of, yoga is a fantastic way to move your body, which is great for anyone!

All these reasons are WHY...

I'm offering a FREE adaptive yoga class at my Newton location at the end of the month!

📍 55 Chapel Street, Newton., MA - inside NESCA

🗓️ This class will take place on Tuesday, December 30th

⏰ From 1:30 - 2:15pm

✅ RSVP is required. Text (617)-686-1499 or email michelle@purposeful-connections.com

🧘🏻‍♀️No experience necessary. I have yoga mats, visuals, and props. Come as you are!

All my parents, listen up! 📣

You know the feeling…

Doctor’s appointments, school meetings, therapy appointments, the list goes on! - You can feel like you’re on your own island.

But did you know that there are parents living a parallel life as yours?

It’s true! You’re not alone!

You do everything for your child, and you deserve a resource too.

This is why I started running Parent Support Groups.

A place for parents to go to share the ups and downs of raising a neurodivergent child.

If you’re feeling alone, I invite you to join us.

Myself and another mental health clinician run the parent support group 2 times a month at the Purposeful Connections location in Medfield.

Message us or email michelle@purposeful-connections.com to join us! 💙

✨ Our groups include:
🎨 Creativity & Arts Social Group – expression, identity, and confidence
🧘 Wellness & Mind-Body Group – grounding, stress relief, and self-regulation
🤝 Connection & Friendship Group – belonging and self-confidence

Curious how a social group could support your child’s growth?

Let’s make some Purposeful Connections together. 💙

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 54 years old.

This later in life diagnosis has been beneficial in so many ways.

I feel I’m able to better understand my clients. From the neuropsychological evaluation, to practical skills to help with executive functioning deficits, I feel like I’m talking the talk and not just walking the walk.

I’ve also learned a lot about myself — why I do better when I have something in my hand to play with, why I’m constantly using my notes app, my calendar, and my phone timer.

It all makes sense.

For anyone else with a later in life ADHD diagnosis or anyone thinking of getting an evaluation: you are not alone, and your diagnosis is still valid!

Online friendship can only take your child so far. Let me explain…

Although online friendship may seem great (your child is making friends, talking to someone their own age, having fun) these “through-the-screen” relationships don’t give your neurodivergent child the opportunity to be challenged.

If a difficult interaction arises, they can just click and end the game.

Just like that.

If you want your child to grow socially and emotionally, in person friendships are the only way to do it.

Face to face interactions teach your child empathy, social cues, and communication. This is why as a behavioral analyst, I insist on making ALL of my client groups and meetings IN PERSON.

So if you’re a parent raising a neurodivergent child, I would strongly encourage you to explore in-person connections to help your child grow!

Need a place to start? Come join a Purposeful Connection social group and let’s make some new friends!

We’re currently hosting a Rainbow Loom Social Group on Wednesday’s from 4:00 - 5:00PM, as well as a Dungeons and Dragons Social Group on Wednesday’s from 5:00 - 6:00PM.

Follow our page to discover the benefits on in person connections!
