Borrowing the slang phrase “clocking the T,” Lisa reframes “T” as your thoughts—the running interpretations and stories you serve yourself about your life as an autism parent. In this episode she explains why those automatic thoughts are usually negative, extreme, and absolute, and how learning to notice them helps you respond rather than react.
Lisa explains how our thoughtsour Tsshape how we experience autism parenting. When stress and dysregulation take over, those thoughts become fast, automatic, and usually negative. The result: more guilt, more reactivity, and less capacity to show up the way we want to.
Through real-life examples and practical tools, Lisa shows you how to start clocking the Tpausing long enough to notice your thoughts before they run the show. This simple awareness skill helps you shift from reacting to responding and strengthens your autism parenting mindset: one built on awareness, steadiness, and choice.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- Why your thoughts are interpretations, not the truth, even when they feel like fact.
- How chronic stress pushes autism moms toward black-and-white, always-or-never thinking.
- How putting distance between yourself and your thoughts interrupts the cycle and gives you back the power to respond.
