141: Listener Favorite: Complex Kids: Navigating Autism, ADHD & Anxiety with Dr. Dan Shapiro

Listen Later
Understanding your child's unique behaviors can feel overwhelming—but clarity is possible. In this empowering, listener-favorite episode from our archives, host Wendy Taylor welcomes Dr. Dan Shapiro, renowned developmental-behavioral pediatrician, author, and founder of the Parent Child Journey. Dr. Shapiro demystifies the complexities of autism, ADHD, and anxiety by explaining how these conditions interact and providing practical strategies tailored to your child's everyday needs.

Three Essential Takeaways:
  • Discover how autism, ADHD, and anxiety can coexist and fluctuate, explained through Dr. Shapiro's accessible "brakes too tight vs. brakes too loose" analogy.
  • Learn why functional assessments that track specific daily triggers and behaviors are more insightful than a diagnosis alone.
  • Get practical guidance on medication, therapy, and educational interventions, focusing on prioritizing realistic, achievable goals—small wins over sweeping changes.
