Description

Mike Carr shares seven practical autism parenting hacks focused on supporting severely or profoundly autistic individuals. He emphasizes the power of frequently expressing genuine thanks to caregivers and staff, reducing anxiety through improved communication like visual schedules and observing nonverbal cues, and promoting positive behavior with enthusiastic praise. He advises ignoring negative behaviors to avoid reinforcing them, giving undivided attention during shared activities, offering choices to empower the child, and prioritizing building a strong, supportive team culture around the child rather than making the child the sole priority, which helps reduce staff turnover and ensures consistent care.
