I have been receiving lots of calls from mothers who just received a diagnosis that their child is on the Spectrum. Commonly, mothers call me, panicked, stressed, and looking for immediate cures. Depending on the severity of the behaviors that mothers are coping with much of this fear and stress is fueled by exhaustion.
Moms who have been at this for awhile are a great resource for newly diagnosed Mothers, because we have learned strategies to best help our own children.
If you have advice that would be particularly helpful to a new Mom, please add it here.
In the meantime, I am writing a working paper on this topic that will be added in a new category entitled: Working Papers.
Please feel free to add your own working paper.
