74. You Cannot Fix All the Things All the Time

Have you ever found yourself thinking that you just aren’t “good enough”?  Don’t worry, you are not alone. I want you to give yourself permission to NOT be able to fix everything and you have to take a look at the pressure you are putting on yourself. I know that one of the biggest challenges we have raising our child or children with autism is the emotional roller coaster that we find ourselves on because we want to FIX everything so the first thing that you have to do is to understand that you are not going to be able to FIX everything along this autism parenting journey. You can’t do it ALL all the time, so be mindful of that and don’t set your expectations of yourself so high that you can never celebrate all of the million things that you do DO right day in and day out. You are making an enormous difference in your child’s life. www.notyouraverageautismmom.com  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shannon-urquiola/support

Om Podcasten

This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children but it 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 is 27 years old and was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week I talk about topics that directly impact your life and go hand in hand with your unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shannon-urquiola/support
