Your child's other parent has an addiction. Maybe it's been clear for years, maybe it's emerged or worsened since the separation.

For an autistic child, predictability isn't a preference; it's a need that runs close to the core of how they experience safety in the world. And a two-home arrangement is, by its nature, an arrangement built around a recurring change of environment. That's the central challenge of parenting an autistic child across two homes, and it needs to be understood clearly rather than glossed over, because once you see it, a lot of what helps becomes obvious.

In this episode of CoParentSpace we get practical about autism across two homes — what actually helps for separated and divorced parents, and why — grounded in attachment science and clinical research.

What we cover:
• Predictability is a core need
• The transition is the hard part
• Two sensory environments
• Shared approaches to communication and regulation
• The line you carry
