Join as Melisa shares her experiences as a homeschooling parent of an autistic child. She provides tips for pushing through stubbornness and how planning ahead can make all the difference.

In this podcast we'll cover:

- How to help your child slow down and understand how they are feeling
- Understanding your parenting style might have to look different with a child on the autism spectrum than it does with neurotypical children
- The value of planning ahead
- The importance of how you show up. You cannot be wishy-washy.
- How to take care of yourself. (Melisa offers resources to parents who want it.)
