    Celebrate Mother’s Day. 
    Being a mom has brought me the greatest joy in my life. I am so blessed to have 2 amazing kids that I get to share each day with. I am so happy to celebrate this day and everyday with my family. I am so grateful to my husband for helping build a solid foundation to raise our kids.  My family helped me realize how much I love being with a mother and how much I enjoy discovering the world as mother. I’ve grown and found purpose in helping other that have autism kids.

    Being mom has helped me discover strengths I did not know I had and a love that is so deep and pure that words cannot describe. It is that love that brings me here to listen to other's stories. Our roads as moms are often more like roller coasters with highs and lows and unexpected twists. Our lift filled with many excitement, tears of joy and/or pain, challenges, eager anticipation.

    I’ve learned to embrace each day as a mother and be present to helped my kids grow and to be the best wife to my husband.

    I also think about my mom and grandmother what strengths and insights I gained from them. We all have been influenced in one way or another which shapes us into who we are today. I encourage you to take time this week and reflect on what does being mom mean to you or characteristics of strength you have gained from mom in your life. Happy Mother’s Day.  www.livebeyondautism.com

     Children with autism tend to have difficulties interacting socially. That’s why they may act out or have a full meltdown when stressed, confused, afraid, and anxious about something.

    Strategies To Calm Children With Autism

    Different from tantrums, autism meltdowns are an intense response to overwhelming circumstances. The common triggers include changes in routine, sensory differences, communication difficulties, and anxiety. Getting overly anxious leads to a meltdown or involuntary coping mechanism. In this article, you’ll learn some effective strategies to calm children with autism. See below:

    Have Your Child Wear A Weighted Vest 

    Vest can hold weight. This special vest designed for autistic children has pockets inside where you can place small ½ or ¼ pound weights. An anxious child with autism felt calmer and focused wearing a weighted vest because of the compression and weight, providing deep muscle and joint pressure that resembles a firm hug. Start with light weights and gradually increase them. Ensure that the vest is not more than 5 to 10% of the child’s body weight. Also, distribute the weight evenly throughout the vest to snugly fit the child’s body. Schedule your child to wear a weighted vest twice or thrice a day, no longer than 15 minutes for each instance. 

    Children with autism have difficulty processing sensory information. They can be under-reactive (hypersensitive) or over-reactive (hypersensitive). A weighted vest helps an autistic child calm down when feeling stressed because of the sensory input. It makes the child feel more comfortable, 

    Children with autism can benefit from wearing weighted vests, such as the following:

    • Increase focus 
    • Reduce anxiety
    • Improve communication
    • Promote problem-solving skills
    • Regulate emotions 
    • Increase body awareness 
    • Promote better coordination

    How children with Autism Spectrum Disorder play

    Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder tend to be less spontaneous than other kids. Unlike a typical curious little kid pointing to things that catch their eye, children with ASD often appear disinterested or unaware of what’s going on around them. They also show differences in the way they play. They may have trouble with functional play, or using toys that have a basic intended use, such as toy tools. They usually don’t “play make-believe,” engage in group games, imitate others, collaborate, or use their toys in creative ways.

    Related signs and symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder

    While not part of autism’s official diagnostic criteria, children with autism spectrum disorders often suffer from one or more of the following problems:

    Sensory problems – Many children with autism spectrum disorders either underreact or overreact to sensory stimuli. At times they may ignore people speaking to them, even to the point of appearing deaf. However, at other times they may be disturbed by even the softest sounds. Sudden noises such as a ringing telephone can be upsetting, and they may respond by covering their ears and making repetitive noises to drown out the offending sound. Children on the autism spectrum also tend to be highly sensitive to touch and to texture. They may cringe at a pat on the back or the feel of certain fabric against their skin.

    Emotional difficulties – Children with autism spectrum disorders may have difficulty regulating their emotions or expressing them appropriately. For instance, your child may start to yell, cry, or laugh hysterically for no apparent reason. When stressed, they may exhibit disruptive or even aggressive behavior (breaking things, hitting others, or harming themselves). kids with ASD may be unfazed by real dangers like moving vehicles or heights, yet be terrified of harmless objects such as a stuffed animal.  Www.livebeyondautism.com



     Behavior Problems


    Children act out for different reasons. The first step to dealing with tantrums, meltdowns and defiance is to understand what’s bothering him or she. What is 
    the best way to handle behavior problems in children with autism ADHD. Do we really know what causes disruptive behavior, including anxiety, learning issues and trauma. how can we learn including myself to help my child learn to manage powerful emotions, do you know how to recognize behavior problems before the outburst 

     



    I have learned a lot throughout the years. I’ve learned that some friends will disappear, some family will be your best support system, you will have good days, and you will have very difficult days. The most important thing I learned is that the love I have for my daughter and son is stronger than anything. Even when am mad 

     Love is beautiful to pieces.

    Happy Sunday  from our family to yours! We like to be loud and messy and have a lot of fun when we do things. 


    PS. This is the most excited Brad has ever been about cooking  Egg. It’s funny how having a child with needs has taught me about priorities. I don’t care if he eats what we prepare for dinner. I just want him with our family. I want him smiling and laughing. I want him happy. It took him years to get here and watching him experience the world is such a gift. Also, the brad is very busy. 


    Happy Sunday from our family to yours!
