"With #SelfReg, we want to create spaces that allow for emotions. If our model was self-control we would expect students to suppress strong emotions or move through them quickly. With Self-Reg, we know that even if they want to suppress, they can't." #WhatWeBelieve
@meraine65@LaTrioli Alex’s mother contacted by NDIA yesterday as it had been a while since they had spoken. Told mother they were waiting for quotes ... these had been uploaded last year

@meraine65@LaTrioli Alex is constantly overwhelmed by the environment and internal sensations. Many people with autism experience intense fear and chronic anxiety. We must develop OUR understanding of autism and what it is to ever hope to reduce the distress and facilitate connection #autism#NDIA
I wonder whether our desire for someone we love to be ... do ... have what we think they should be ... do ... have, ....is actually a reflection of limited compassion for ourself and our own challenges. #polyvagaltheory#understandingautism#compassionforself
