So here’s my question for YOU:

What’s one skill you’ve been teaching in a rigid, “one right way” format? What would change if you opened up HOW your child or student or client demonstrates mastery? Drop your thoughts in the comments 👇

“Non-compliance is a kid indicating that they’re having difficulty meeting an expectation.”
- Dr. Ross Greene.

Non-compliance is GOOD because it can be incredibly informative! When we stop for a moment and get curious about why the child is frustrated, angry, or upset, then we open the doors for communication and real connection. Don’t assume you know what skills the child needs to meet your expectation.

Dr. Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model views challenging behavior as a sign of skills challenges and unmet expectations, not a motivation problem. Instead of rewards or consequences to manage behavior, adults collaborate proactively with kids to identify “unsolved problems” and the skills the child finds hard, like flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving.

So the next time a child is being “non-compliant”, ask “how can we solve this problem?” and listen. ☺️

Just a few friendly reminders 😊

This child is using their AAC device to share, explore, and connect with me, an SLP who’s listening with intention and modeling new ways to share ideas and feelings.

Non-speaking does not mean non-knowing, non-understanding, or non-verbal. His body just doesn’t cooperate in neurotypical ways so I show him how he can communicate in new ways while honoring everything he has to say in his own way.

Communication is connection and this moment is so magical 💛

Advocate burnout is real and it matters.
But it doesn’t overshadow the persistent injustice disabled people live with every single day.

Feeling depleted doesn’t erase our responsibility to center disabled voices. It’s a wake-up call to reimagine advocacy that sustains us and serves.

This isn’t just a post about burnout.
It’s about refusing to let our exhaustion be used to justify inaction, deflection, or silence. It’s about naming the imbalance and recommitting to equity, even when we’re running on fumes.

We need rest.
Disabled people need systemic change.
We can hold both truths and still push forward.

7️⃣These are my top 7 ways to become more neuro-affirming. Which one was new for you?

⭐️Making the shift to become neurodiversity-affirming is MORE than just acknowledging differences. You have to do the work to implement it into your practice if you’re supporting Autistic individuals.

⭐️ Change can be hard. Admitting that you may use some potentially harmful methods or write inappropriate goals is hard. Unlearning what you were taught… IS HARD.

⭐️ Whatever your role is as an Autistic Ally, I can help you deepen your knowledge to better support your clients, patients, students, children, adults, and friends.

Let's be honest-- there's a WHOLE lot more to being neurodiversity-affirming than this...but, it's start.

A lot of my learning about the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm was UNLEARNING what I was taught. Just because you learned it in grad school, doesn't mean it was the right way.

Follow along for more about the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm, how to shift your perspectives, and unlearn the harmful practices you were taught.
