#ParentingWhileAutistic
"Give your child clear boundaries. Name expectations and agree on compromises. Offer them choices and the agency to make a decision."
Note to autistic parents: Your child will make eye contact, agree to something, make a choice, swear up and down they are ok with it, then turn around, scream NO, and run away laughing.
This will happen multiple times a day, even if you make the clearest rules and state the clearest consequences.
