Living Inspired with Autism
So what?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Two small words can create a surprisingly powerful shift: So what?
As parents of autistic children, our brains can become incredibly good at spotting problems. A call from the school, a meltdown in public, a difficult behaviour or a milestone that hasn’t happened yet can quickly become something much bigger in our minds.
But what actually happened, and what are you making it mean?
In this episode of Living Inspired with Autism, I explore the difference between the facts of a situation and the story we build around them. We look at how those stories can create extra fear, shame and worry, and how asking “So what?” can give you enough space to question what your brain is telling you.
This isn’t about dismissing difficult emotions or pretending everything is fine. It’s about dealing with what is actually in front of you without adding an entire future story to one difficult moment.
I’ll also give you a simple practice you can use this week to separate the facts from your thoughts and decide what you want to make a situation mean instead.
Sometimes freedom begins when we stop giving a moment a meaning it never needed.
