EP 73: From Chaos To Connection: Parenting Severe Autism Without Sleep, Space, Or Support

Send us a text

We trace a season of sleepless nights, stomping floors, and bathroom chaos into two quiet breakthroughs: independent handwashing and a shared Soup Dance that reveals connection inside repetition. A harsh LED light becomes a surprising trigger, and a softer presence opens space for growth.

• recognizing environmental triggers like harsh LED lighting
• coping with insomnia, nighttime roaming, and sensory seeking
• testing the idea that less praise can reduce pressure
• finding communication inside repetitive questions
• celebrating independent hygiene and song completion
• using calm spaces to invite regulation and connection
• redefining wins as small, repeatable steps
• sustaining caregivers with simple, steady routines
