Advice for Parents, From an Atypical Kid

Kate Lynch

Oct 09, 2020

Advice for parents of atypical kids, from Ocean as he begins his 5th grade year in NYC's ASD Nest program, amid pandemic confusion. He offers simple, logical suggestions about parenting anyone, really, in a mindful, observant and collaborative way.

Ocean has some thoughts about when parents should tell their kid about their diagnosis.

He has strong feelings about the way his ABA Pre-K tried to deal with his aversion to snaps and buttons. He did look adorable at his Aunt's wedding, but he definitely was NOT wearing a tie. I'll post a pic in the Mindfully Parenting Atypical Kids Facebook Group, on request! Join here: Mindfully Parenting Atypical Kids, and grab your Mindful Meltdown Cheatsheet here:
