Welcome to Episode 154 of Autism Parenting Secrets.

This episode goes deep on a powerful and counterintuitive concept: The Practice of JOINING.

Our guest this week is Camila Titone, Senior Mentor & Trainer at the Option Institute where she teaches The Son-Rise Program® to parents, caregivers, and professionals.

Your child on the autism spectrum is likely exhibiting behaviors that you are NOT wanting.

Like many parents, our initial objective was to make all of our son’s ‘problem’ behaviors stop.

And while that makes sense for unsafe behaviors, many of the things our kids do may seem strange but actually serve a valuable purpose for them.

Listen to this episode to get a new perspective that could lead to the breakthrough you’re looking for.
