The early days following an Autism diagnosis can be a bewildering time. Read Dr Melanie Heyworth’s top five tips for parents of newly diagnosed Autistic children, to help you on your journey.
How do you know when there is cause for you to think your child is developing atypically? The Reframing Autism team reflected on the differences that we saw in our children, and those our own parents saw in us, to develop a description of some differences you may see if your child is Autistic.
In part two of our series on emotional regulation, Reframing Autism founder and CEO Dr Melanie Heyworth explores how we can use co-regulation to teach our children the skill of emotional self-regulation. Specifically, she focuses on how we can cultivate our children’s self-regulation by demonstrating and modelling our own self-regulation through consistent calm connection and compassion.
In this piece – the first in a two-part series – Reframing Autism founder and CEO, Dr Melanie Heyworth, examines emotional regulation: what it is, what we mean when we ask our children to regulate their emotions, and why it is so very difficult to learn to do so.
