2024/08/13

This episode is the first in a 3 part series with principles and practical steps to nurture a positive relationship with your autistic child. This the same philosophy and guidelines that transformed my own practice and resulted in consistently successful therapeutic relationships with all the neurodivergent children in my care. As a parent, you need only master one - the one with your baby. The first step is to get clarity on what's most important to you by listing out your preferred values. ...

A secure attachment for autistic kids? Hell Yes!

The Vysdym Podcast ·

2024/08/06

Skills like speech, language and motor abilities are important, but they are impossible to learn and retain without establishing a baseline of safety. The only way to get your autistic child to engage with you is by nurturing a secure attachment. In over a decade of practicing Occupational Therapy, it is the only strategy that resulted in autistic kids letting me into their world repeatedly which opened up infinite possibilities for both the child and me, as the therapist. It is a strategy th...

The 'NO' grenade.

The Vysdym Podcast ·

2024/07/30

This 2 letter word - NO- is often relegated to being problematic/triggering for neurodivergent children who are ostracized and made unjustly responsible for the resulting meltdown. NO- is not only necessary, it is a powerful tool in your tool box. As a parent, you must acknowledge the responsibility that comes with great power by answering some tough questions along the way. Listen to this episode if you want to learn the underlying philosophy to use this powerful word tactfully. Do it right,...

I for Independence? Not always!

The Vysdym Podcast ·

2024/07/23

How often has your baby been assessed using independent functioning as the yardstick? Is that the most beneficial goal to work towards? How does a hyperfocus on independent participation backfire? How does this impact you relationship with your baby? In this episode, I'm answering all these questions and presenting an alternate perspective - it is another I-word - one that is not only neurodiversity affirming, but also relationship focused. If that's an approach you're interested in adopting,...

The D-word that all parents dread

The Vysdym Podcast ·

2024/07/16

In this episode we dive deeper into the fear of discharge, which leads to another d-word- disempowerment. We talk about the lies and the disillusionment underneath this fear and how these impact, not only you but also your baby's attachment needs. Like everything else, overcoming this ginormous obstacle is quite doable and possible, but I cannot convince you. You must listen and decide for yourself. I can however, vouch for the liberation that results from running towards your fears instead o...

"Freedom is not given, it is taken"

The Vysdym Podcast ·

2024/07/08

Back to the mic after an extended hiatus. In this episode I talk about two important events that triggered a significant positive change in my personal and professional life since my last episode. It is important to me that I share them with you before we get back to talking about Neurodiverse parenting. I also make a public re-commitment to the mission of this podcast with a greater acceptance of my own neurodiversity. I'm not playing small, not anymore. Thanks for tuning in! Follow on ...
