Thank you so much for sharing these tips!!💕 I can't express how much they are going to help my little guy & our family!

You sound as such a great mom! I think your advice applies to every kid, not just autistic ones. You are being really helpful to me. I will most likely have an autistic kid because my husband is Asperger, so I really want to be as prepared as possible. Thanks for your videos!

Tarah this is exactly what i'm tackling this week. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much we parents support each other directly and indirectly. You and my friend Faye, from "Nurturing neurodiversity" are GOLDEN 🙏🙌

Yes to the punching bag. We bought one for our son two years ago, before he got his ASD diagnosis, and it still helps him tremendously. Also, the transition from school to home is so challenging. Thank you for all of this helpful information.

The way you talk about Dylan 🙈😍 I must say you are an incredibly strong and caring mother ! Thank you I learn many things from you 😍🤗

So glad I’ve found your channel! Xx

You really do great videos. You put them together so thoughtfully and clearly. You also really seem like Dylan's biggest fan.

Hi - thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to make these videos . I wish you had been around 10 years ago! My son who is nearly 20, struggled at school so I drove 52 miles each way to take both of my sons to a Steiner School, for two years. That wasn't particularly helpful for Ben. He is in the process of being diagnosed for ASD but my husband was diagnosed 3 years ago, and omitted to tell me thinking it unimportant. It's so difficult to find a safe way to parent Ben but he is a wonderful young man whose clever, intelligent and in his best space, really funny. Thanks once again for sharing your experiences. x

Hi! That was a nice video for us to watch thank you! It’s always nice to get reminder and bring us back to certain routines. Breath is very important. My son now breaths with essencial oil as well. There are some breathing techniques that calms them down. Could you share some tips for stemming? How to help them to control stems?

My son is 19, a lot older than your kids. Forgive for going off- topic with this frivolous comment, but i adore yuour taste in decoration. I love it when you walk us around your house. By the way my son is learning computer programming and he’s brilliant, thank god. After the hell we went thru to not repeat a grade.

You are wonderful! Sweet and pretty. Thank you for doing all this work!

Oh.. I was just about to ask you to do a video on anxiety specially seperation anxiety in autistic kids. Mine has a lot of transition and seperation anxiety. Thank you for this...

So helpful!

Thanks for sharing new subscriber here 😊❤️. I am a mom with Bipolar and 2 kids on the spectrum (mild) aged 12 and 4. With my eldest, who also has ADHD, he’s feeling anxious from time to time. I taught him what I learned to cope with Bipolar using my modified version of CBT 😋. For instance, he’s going to wake up in the middle of the night afraid of something like he heard there’s someone screaming from outside. I recognize he’s feeling and then ask him do you evidence to support that? Then lately, it seems like it creates a pattern to him. Whenever he’s anxious of something he tends to say out loud and ask himself if reality supports it otherwise move on. Like I can give him a headset if he finds he’s surrounding is noisy but he must be also aware that noise is part the universe, and he needs to adjust as painful as it is at times.

We love you Tara

Hi, being consistent is key I keep on telling my husband to be calm which he is but when he wake up in night of dream. Our son only 3.5 year old he love tickles and tight hugs. Thanks for video.

I have high functioning Aspergers and I have really bad anxiety. I take cbd which helps a lot and I am on anti depressants. I am not saying everyone has to go on meds but they really help .

My sons anxiety has really started showing more recently not wanting to sleep in his room thinking there are monsters under his bed. He is six and I feel he has regressed as well over the last two/three weeks. Thanks for the tips, really love the channel and just got your book 😀

Thank you🌹Salt bath helps it too.

What age did Dylan start reading and writing ?my son has mild autism and is 6.5 yo. He knows his letter , sounds..but reading and writing is a problem for praxis issue. He is overall a delightful, lively confident child ..loves his movies and music .

Hi..thank you so much..you help me so much through this..my boy is 12 years old now he had autism..he is so afraid of spiders but it's because I'm afraid of spiders..if I see spiders I'm scared and scream,that's why he is also now afraid of spiders..but if I see a spider few months but than I'm calm and tell him do you see the spider than he say yes,than I ask him are you afraid of them than he tells me no mommy I'm not scared I'm a big boy now..I'm so proud of him getting over his fear..

I would like to know what do you think about ABA therapy.

I have high functioning Aspergers and spontaneity and change really frustrates me. Do you have any suggestions as to help this ? I am very structured and planned and my family isn’t.

So helpful! Thank you! X

Does you child has poor eye contact and speech delay? My son has all those! I’m depressed and don’t know what to do

My 3 old boy with GDD, SPD who has very little words has started randomly crying for no obvious reason. I’m not sure if he’s sad because struggling to communicate or just another reason. So upsetting to see 😞 PS love the bedroom. Is there a bedroom tour? Would love to see more of his activites and sensory things that calm him so I can get some strategies in place.

✨✨Thank you ✨✨

Great video, thank you! I will remember these. My autistic son is 5 now, but you're saying that when puberty hits (you mentioned hormones) that things -- as it relates to his autism/anxieties -- can/will change?

My son hes anxious when his little sister is crying. He will be so worry n want me to calm his sister..and end up crying n hitting my maid. He will stop till his sister stops crying. Wht shld i do?

Thanu 4 all you do!!. My question is what kind of essential oils to use for your precious boy Dylan?. Hug’s ❤️🙏🏽🌷

What would u suggest for a 2 year old who doesn’t give eye contact and just wonders around . Any tips on activities to do . What’s the best thing to do .. Thank you 😊 xx

Does Dylan sleep thru the night, my 4 year old boy has never slept thru the night and all Doctors do is prescribe sleeping pills. Which I refuse to give him. Other than Melatonin have you ever used anything else to help with sleep??

A weighted blanket may help..

Hi to you and yours family. We are from Sweden and I wonder If you have a good shop there the sell shoes whithout lace only burdock for boy 14 yers old. Thanks for yot amazing and helping vlogg//CarinaSChembri//Sweden

Great video, our son used to have intense separation anxiety but eventually grew out of it. In terms of biomedicals, the amygdala region of the brain is most cited as being related to fear and anxiety. The ayurvedic herb bacopa monnieri has been studied to both promote growth of this brain region (which I understand from MRI scans is often compromised in ASD children) and also research suggests it can increase Serotonin Transporter (SERT) expression - which can reduce fear response in the amygdala.

Please don't use tantrum and meltdown synonymously. That's not fair to us. (Autistic people)
