A Registered Charity in South Lanarkshire aiming to inform/empower/ advocate for our autistic community, who have the right to access autism informed services.
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.
