What If More Holiday Magic = Less Holiday Bullsh*t?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I dive deep into the realities of surviving—and actually enjoying—the holiday season as a parent of a non-speaker.
I explore:
- Why I choose “joyful chaos” over overwhelm, and how you can create it in your own home
- My go-to strategies for sticking to protocols that support my child's well-being, especially when routines go out the window
- How daily brain games and co-regulation set us up for holiday success—and why keeping things simple matters more than ever
- My honest take on screen time, handling family pressures, and giving myself permission to reset (even after rough days)
If you’re curious how I’ve learned to trade holiday stress for real connection and presence, tune in—this episode is packed with practical strategies and candid encouragement for every parent navigating the season their own way.
Autism Changemakers is a private community just for parents of nonspeaking kids. It’s where you don’t have to explain yourself, and where you’ll always be surrounded by people who believe in your child’s brilliance.
