Have you ever wondered how to help parents accept their autistic child for who they are? We get no training in having this conversation - so it can be really tough.

Situations like these can leave you feeling lost, and wishing you could just give them all the answers.

But when you try, it turns out to be a lot harder than you’d think. Even though you know the parent wants what’s best for their child, there’s still a process they have to go through to ultimately open their arms and hearts to the unique child they’re blessed with.
