Today, I thought I’d return to a common dilemma faced by parents and professionals supporting autistic individuals and that is the concept of favorites. Most of us neurotypicals have lots of favorites like favorite colors and favorite foods. But many autistic individuals struggle with the concept of favorites and may be unable to answer the question “which one is your favorite?” when presented with 2 or 3 nice and positive choices.  Why!? What is going on?For more information regarding this podcast, please go to: https://synergyautismpodcast.blogspot.com/2021/08/episode-58-mp-trouble-with-favorites.html

Episode #13: Home versus School Behaviors

The series, "Behavior Babble with Barb and Pam" continues! For this episode, we decided to read a popular best seller about behavior and give our two cents. Maybe this will help you pick it up or not? The book we chose was Ten Days To A Less Defiant Child by Dr. Jeffery Bernstein.

Episode #14: 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child - Part I

The book by Tina Payne Bryson and Daniel Siegel is called The Power of Showing Up. It helps us understand the importance of showing up for our kids by highlighting attachment science. The simple acts of showing up and creating secure attachments ensures success in future relationships and life in general. So how does this play out with children with autism? Here I share my thoughts on the 4 Ss: Safe, Soothed, Seen, and Secure and how each can easily be ensured for children with autism.

Regulation Is Required for Curiosity to Thrive

1st in our new podcast series, Barbara and Pam discuss the notion that children are not being bad when they exhibit a challenging behavior. They delve deeper into one specific case that Pam brings up where a child is being characterized as choosing to engage in difficult behaviors or is “being bad”. They talk through how they support families and school teams to move past that thinking to understand that behavior is communication.
