#191: Autism TikTok- Parenting without Power Struggles with @thefamilybehaviorist

Since joining TikTok in June 2022, I have not only been able to create my own videos and reach a new audience, I have been able to find and meet others in the autism field who align with my strategies. Mandy Grass, @TheFamilyBehaviorist, SPED teacher and BCBA joins me to discuss her journey on TikTok and some of her most viewed videos. We cover common problems and strategies for both parents and professionals, including the importance of tone, accepting no, and reducing power struggles.
