Show Notes
Discover what’s possible when you really put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
Are you the parent of an autistic child? Or are you in a relationship with an autistic partner?
If you’d like to learn about how to better understand and support them, stick around for part two of my conversation with licensed professional counselor Meghan Ashley, where she talks about taking the autistic perspective.
Among other things, we discuss:
- The consequences of disclosing her and her two sons’ autism to their extended family
- Common struggles parents face when trying to understand their autistic children
- How to create an autism-friendly home environment
- The complexity of unmasking in different situations
- Tips for non-autistics when interacting with autistic individuals
To learn more about Meghan Ashley and her work, you can follow her on Instagram @mperfectconsulting.
