This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children, but has evolved, and we have listeners across the world who are relatives of someone with autism, special education teachers, and other professionals. My son Jordan was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old, now 29. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week, for 20 minutes or less (most episodes), I discuss topics that directly impact your life on this unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com

BEST OF Summer Series- Why Uncertainty Triggers Meltdowns

Ever notice how even the smallest change can lead to a big meltdown? Like you changed the order of errands… or dinner was late… or a visitor dropped by unexpectedly.

It’s not “just behavior.”
For our kids, unpredictability can feel like the ground is shifting under their feet. In this episode, I talk about why uncertainty is so hard for our kids—and how we can help them feel more secure when routines go out the window (hello, summer chaos 🫠).

In this episode, Shannon unpacks strategies for creating a sense of predictability, including mental maps, structured routines, and sensory tools to help your child feel more secure. You’ll gain practical tips to navigate these
challenging moments and be reminded that even when it feels hard, you are doing AMAZING at this mom thing.
