Don't Let Your Life Be a Checklist
Show Notes

When you get the autism diagnosis of your child, it's easy to get stressed out and let life be a checklist of endless to-dos.

When I got my son's diagnosis, my life became exactly that: a checklist of all the therapies, looking for resources 24/7, and advocating for my son.

I was a ball of stress much of the time and having fun or being kind to myself was not on my list of to-dos.

But I discovered that being kind to myself was a must if I wanted to be a kinder and more present parent.

I share my small acts of kindness practice that will change your life for the better.

Enjoy!
