Welcome to Episode 288 of Autism Parenting Secrets.
In this solo episode, Len challenges the idea that progress comes from doing more. Instead, he explains why focus — not effort — is the true bottleneck for most parents raising a child with challenges.
Len breaks focus into four critical areas: how closely you observe your child in the present moment, how clearly you understand the past and key stressors, how accurately you identify root causes, and how consistently you take decisive action.
He shares why many parents work incredibly hard while making little progress — often because they’re reacting to urgency, chasing symptoms, or focusing on the wrong root causes — and how clarity restores momentum.
This episode is about cutting through noise, ending guesswork, and directing your energy toward what actually moves the needle for your child.
