A Parent’s Role
This video shares the experience of parents of an autistic child named Lou, and offers strategies for offering and receiving support.
- Watch the video; if you are co-parenting, watch it together. Ask yourself:
- Who is your “person” (or your people), the one you can talk to when feelings and specific issues arise?
- What has being a parent to your children taught you? How have you changed?
