In this episode for parents and professionals who support autistic and neurodivergent children, I share my response to a very common question - What should I do when other people don't agree with my neurodiversity affirming approach to supporting autistic or neurodivergent kids?   I've got 7 ideas to share about how to collaborate and advocate when you're not aligned with the other person's approach. Here's the short list:  

1. Build relationships - connection over compliance
2. Regulate yourself
3. Find their ways of learning
4. Educate in their way
5. Understand their barriers - get curious
6. Go slooooow
7. Know when to walk away

  I share a lot more about these topics with parents and professionals in my webinars and workshops.
