Predictive Autonomy: Helping Neurodivergent Kids Build Real-World Independence with Dr. Park
Description
In this final installment of the Predictive Process series, Dr. Park breaks down the crucial last phase: generalizing fluency and building predictive autonomy.
Many autistic and neurodivergent young people face constant predictive gaps—moments when the world doesn’t match what they expect. These gaps trigger overwhelm, anxiety, shutdowns, or rigid coping strategies.
Dr. Park explains how parents and caregivers can help kids move from safety and structure, to strategic growth, to finally becoming fluent, adaptive, and authentically themselves in unpredictable environments.
Whether your child is a homebody, anxiously avoiding new environments, or pushing toward independence, this episode gives compassionate, practical guidance for supporting autonomy—without forcing conformity.
