Youโll probably never read them anyway.
Itโs okay.
The truth is, you didnโt buy those books for information.
You bought them for the same reason I spent ๐ฐ attending continuing education courses for BCBAs.
You want to feel some relief from the fear of โI don’t know what I’m doing.”
So you armor yourself with more information in hopes that it will alleviate the cloud of self doubt that has been stalking you since you child’s Autism diagnosis.
Spoiler alert: it wonโt work.
That is because information does not create self-confidence.
Trust does.
โ Trust in yourself that you are the expert on your child.
โ Trust that you will make the next right decision.
โ Trust that you will listen to your instincts.
โ Trust that you can course correct at anytime.
โ
Trust that you will have your own back no matter what.
You wonโt find any of this in a book. ๐
It is something you create for yourself with your thoughts.
But how???
Start with what you do know. ย
You can do this by getting out a pen and paper ๐ and answering a few Powerful Questions, like the ones below. ย ย
Be as specific as possible!
๐ง What evidence do I have of my resourcefulness?
๐ค What do I know about my child?
๐ค What have I already figured out?
Find as many examples as you can to get your brain focused onย what you do know.
This is the best book you will ever read about Autism.
Have a wonderful week!
