YOUR OWN PATH WHEN

YOU FEEL LOST...

Autism Parenting Tips

Autism Parenting Tips began as a personal project inspired by my own journey of seeking answers, guidance, and support. What started with the challenges of navigating autism has grown into a mission to provide parents and caregivers with practical tools, trusted resources, and encouragement to walk this path with confidence

There is always a solution

With faith, patience, and persistence, even the toughest challenges can shift. What feels impossible today can become tomorrow’s breakthrough. Do not lose hope. Keep moving forward with strength and determination.

Why this blog?

An autism diagnosis can change life in an instant. It often leaves parents feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and very alone.

My husband and I remember those early days clearly, when we had no roadmap and no one to guide us.

That feeling of isolation is what inspired me to create Autism Parenting Tips.

Here you will find encouragement, resources, and practical ideas to help you move forward. Most of all, I want you to know you never have to walk this path by yourself.

Who is this blog for?

This blog was created for parents, caregivers, and educators of children and young adults on the autism spectrum.

My goal is to share reliable, practical guidance on the many aspects of autism parenting. You will find strategies for managing behavior, supporting communication, building educational opportunities, and learning about therapies and treatments.

Just as importantly, this space is meant to be a community where families and educators can connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. Together, we can support every child’s growth and potential.

About Me

I first studied psychology and began working with autistic children more than 27 years ago. That early experience shaped my path and eventually led me into education, where I have been a teacher for over 18 years. Along the way, I earned my Doctorate in Education, deepening my understanding of learning and development.

My journey with autism also became personal when my child was diagnosed. Today, I am the proud parent of a wonderful 24-year-old autistic adult who has been my greatest teacher and inspiration.

Advocating for autism acceptance is not just something I do, it is part of who I am. I know firsthand the challenges, the joys, and the unique beauty of this journey, and my mission is to share what I have learned so that other parents and caregivers feel supported, encouraged, and empowered.

This blog is a space for connection, practical tools, and gentle reminders that you are not alone. My hope is that what you find here helps you grow with your child and discover new ways to celebrate their strengths while caring for yourself along the way.
