Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Parent Partner. For this month, I thought it would be important to talk about regression and how you can navigate this as a parent. This is good timing for this year as 2025 comes to a close, there are more breaks from school and autism services, and everyone is starting to wind down. A few of my patient’s parents that I work with told me and the collaborating clinicians about some changes they have noticed in their child’s behaviors recently. 

Hi everyone! Welcome back to TheParentPartner! I took a break from the site due to moving, but I am so excited to be back! This blog is centered around potty-training and what to expect during the process.  To start this blog, I think it is important to say: Potty-training is not an easy feat, and as neurotypical adults, it's not something that we remember, as most of us completed it during the ages of 1.5 and 3 years old. Now that WE are the adults, and may need to potty-train a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the criteria is a bit different.

Hi everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the previous edition of The Parent Partner, about love and experiencing romantic love, familial love, and close-knit friendship, “What’s Love Got to Do With It!” That was a really fun episode to record, but now I wanted to take this month to talk about something more serious: anger, tantrumming, meltdowns, and anxiety that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder may exhibit when they are in new, stressful situations or when they do not get what they want.

What is love?? It's friendship, relationship, parenthood, and so much more! Join me in my first podcast episode done alone, where I talk about my takes on the Netflix original, Atypical (2017), discuss consent and autonomy, and talk about all the different ways to love, and how you can introduce your kiddos to the idea of romance in a healthy way!

Happy New Year, everyone! Before diving into this month's topic, I want to thank everyone who's supported me this far, whether that includes reading each blog, sharing my posts, or giving me suggestions for future topics. It means so much to me and I truly hope that you find solace and community through my blogs as well. This year feels like the start of a new season and I wanted to discuss the importance of self-care and its relevance in regards to developing independence in children with Autism. 

The innumerable benefits of role play and how it can enhance your child's social communication skillset and Theory of Mind!

Hi Parents! Welcome back to the Parent Partner. This month is all about flexibility! What it means for your kiddo, how it helps in their future, and why it ultimately makes them stronger than ever!

Welcome back to The Parent Partner! Happy Disability Pride Month! For any new readers, welcome! I thought it would be an amazing time to talk about boundaries and safety, so that children with Autism can learn to protect themselves in new scenarios while enjoying everything their childhood has to offer.
