Are you confident about the possible causes for it? Can you tell one from an awkward attempt at emotional manipulation? Can meltdowns be prevented? Can you do anything helpful as an independent observer? A carer? What if you are the person about to go into a full-blown meltdown? What happens during the episode? What about after one?

🎒 EFFICIENT GEAR PACKING TIPS AFTER SHOW 🛠 Post-show cleanup can be overwhelming, especially when you're navigating sensory sensitivities and organizational challenges. 🧰🧩 As someone with autism, ADHD, Asperger's, or dyslexia, finding efficient packing strategies can make all the difference in managing post-event stress. 💼✨ Start by sorting your gear into categories, making it easier to pack and locate items when needed. 📦 Use color-coded labels or storage bins to differentiate between equipment, cables, and accessories, reducing the likelihood of misplacement. 🌈🔌 When packing, prioritize essential items and organize them based on frequency of use. 🔄 Keep frequently accessed gear easily accessible, while stowing away less-used items in designated compartments. 🎶🔋 Consider investing in travel-friendly storage solutions like cable organizers, collapsible bins, or multi-pocketed bags to streamline your packing process and maximize space efficiency. 🧳✈ Lastly, take advantage of technology to create digital inventories or checklists for your gear, ensuring nothing gets left behind. 📱💡 With a little planning and organization, you can transform post-show cleanup from chaos to calm, leaving you ready to tackle your next adventure with ease. 🌟 #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance #AutismCommunity #AutismLove #AutismSupport #AspergersSyndrome #AspergersAndProud #AspergersLife #AspergersWorld #ADHDLife #ADHDAwareness #ADHDSupport #ADHDCommunity #DyslexiaAwareness #DyslexiaSupport #DyslexiaIsSuperpower #UnderstandingAutism #SensorySolutions #OrganizationHacks

Autism is a spectrum disorder, and communication challenges vary widely. When it comes to enhancing small talk skills, a few starter tips can make a big difference. Tip 1: 'Wh' questions (who, what, why, where) are excellent conversation starters. Tip 2: Help your child compile a list of topics commonly discussed in brief chats (like work, school, weather, hobbies). Tip 3: Encourage neighborhood chats with questions like 'How are you today?' or 'Did you enjoy your weekend?' #AutismAwareness #CommunicationTips #InclusionMatters #SmallTalkTips

Consistent Wake-Up Times: Keep wake-up and bedtime consistent, even on weekends. Visual Timers: Use visual timers to help your child manage transitions between activities. Rehearse Transitions: Practice transitions between activities at home to reduce anxiety about change. Routines provide structure and security, which are incredibly beneficial for autistic children as they navigate daily challenges. How do you reinforce routines in your household? Have you discovered any unique rewards or strategies that motivate your child? Let's share and learn from each other, enriching our community with diverse approaches to routine success! #AutismRoutine #BackToSchool #ParentingAutism #AutismCommunity

🍳 What are we cooking for next week? 🍳 Introducing the "For You" home screen in Chat Feelix! Children will be able to explore different topics to chat with Feelix based on their current mood and profile. 🎉 100% personalized to their interests + based on psychological principles! 🎉 As a daily user of the app with my ASD child, I often find myself thinking, "How can I better support Gabriel today?" With this feature, we hope to help parents, teachers/teaching assistants, and health professionals engage with the child in a bespoke way, tailoring their communication to the child's interests for better support! ----------------- Hi, I'm G Reis, Founder of Chat Feelix and I'm committed to building it in public! 👉 What we do? We help children better understand their emotions! 👉 Why? Because without emotional understanding, children are left vulnerable to life's storms #digitaltherapeutics #mentalhealth #emotionaleducation #startup

Wait, what? Ever notice as a parent that when you get a moment to breathe, another scenario arises to navigate? 🔄 You have a choice ➡️ (swipe for options). Then, you’re reminded of the Law of Karma. 😅 What will you choose? 🧠 Slide/page 4 is your energy management reminder. Because reparenting in real-time takes intention. I help BIPOC changemaker mamas break free from cultural expectations to reparent ourselves while parenting our kiddo(s). I’m building us a Summer Camp to dive deeper.

Much of the work that happens in pre-K is about helping children identify, feel, and manage their emotions. It’s work lots of us as adults need support with too! Next time you or your little one feels overwhelmed, take a minute to recite the ParentCorps feelings poem: #socialemotionallearning #prek #emotions

Finding your rhythm is key, but it's equally vital to create a workflow that suits your family's needs. This means planning and scheduling in a way that works for both you and your child. Setting boundaries is a big part of this – remember, "no" is a complete sentence. It's okay to decline commitments that may overwhelm you or your child. By respecting your boundaries, you can prioritize what truly matters and ensure a healthy balance. How do you manage your workflow and boundaries while raising a child with autism?

We are all getting diagnosed with all these different behavioural problems… When it actually comes down to how much we scroll on our phones 📞 Scrolling on our phones everyday, is encouraging our brains to not focus on one thing longer than 3 seconds. Along with falling into victim mode, consistently comparing ourselves to others and having a “poor me” mentality. Even posting this video on social media doesn’t feel right, but we need to start being more aware of how much we are scrolling and are we scrolling for purpose or for entertainment? As a mentor, my purpose is to create awareness and give your teenager the tools to regulate their nervous system and find what centres them. Comment MENTOR and I’ll take you and your teenager on the journey today ✨✨✨ #parenting #nervoussystem #mindbody #empowerment #youthwork
