Welcome to Episode 52 of the Autism Parenting Secrets. 

Parenting is beautiful but it can also feel maddening, confusing, and all-consuming.  

Especially parenting a child with autism, it’s a very different experience.  And it can feel so draining at times.

In this episode, Cass and Len talk about the mother of all energy boosts.

A practice you can do anytime and as often as you like.  

It’s so much better than any medication, supplementation or even a vacation.

When the journey feels hard and stress and anxiety dominate, gratitude is the best way to not only stop the stress but to feel the opposite.

So allow gratitude. Don’t just think about what you’re grateful for.  FEEL IT.
