THE AUTISM ADHD PODCAST Why Neurodivergent Kids Stay in Their Comfort Zone & How to Help Them Step Out
Welcome to The Autism ADHD Podcast. I'm glad you joined me today because my guest, Reid Miles, host of "Inside the Asperger's Studio," and I are talking about why it's so hard to move outside our comfort zone. We are also discussing how to move outside the zone with more comfort and confidence.
Some of the topics we are covering are:
- Why forcing neurodivergent kids out of their comfort zone backfires
- The real reason behind the "I don't want to" responses
- How to use "starter sentences" to understand your child's fears
- The anchor person strategy for building confidence
- Small, doable steps that actually work
- Planning strategies for overwhelming environments
- Why shared interests make all the difference
After you take a listen, please share this episode! We appreciate you helping to spread the word about neurodiversity-affirming approaches:)
Sincerely,
Holly Blanc Moses - The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist
