[Sensory Processing Disorder Parent Support (SPD) @Sensoryprocessi]

Children with #SensoryProcessingDisorder tend to not behave and have meltdowns when they are with their #parents because their parents are their safe place. A place where they feel more comfortable. A place where they can be themselves.
If you feel like your child is behaving for others and not you, don't think it's you. It is a compliment. It means they feel safe to come to you with anything.
You are their safe place. It is not your #parenting.

Let's talk about #PDA ...

Happy #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek.
We were proud to take part in one of the event’s panel discussions last year about seldom discussed neurological differences and this year we’d like to share more valuable insight and information about a #PDA profile of autism.

Many of our late-dagnosed community come to realise their authentic Autistic identity following the diagnosis of a child, as illustrated by this series of illustrations from Neurodivergent_Researcher.

[Autistic Girls Network @AutisticGirls_]

These systems leave no room for understanding the reason behind certain behaviours and what they mean. They don’t involve working with the young people but focus on control.
