SLP 029: Why Your Words Matter
Many children with ASD have Mind Blindness, meaning they are often literal and don't know the inferred intent of language. This often leads to difficulty understanding another person's perspective. This can mean certain words are often very confusing, for example, children with ASD typically struggle with the words STOP and NO. If an adult says STOP what does this mean? Do they mean stop breathing? Stop moving? Stop eating? STOP does not tell a child what they can do - it only tells them what they shouldn't do. When you have to use STOP make sure you add a little bit more information so the child knows what they should do i.e. STOP working, pencil down, it's time to listen.

SLP 027: My Formula for Behaviour Regulation
The emotional world for people on the spectrum can be very scary! Emotions often come without warning and are difficult to label and connect to a cause, which leaves the person unable to control them. "You cannot control what you cannot define, label, and understand." ( Excerpt from The Autism Discussion Page, pg 285), therefore it is very important we give the child skills and strategies to understand and regulate their emotions.

SLP 021: Why you need to know about Interoception and the Impact on the kids you know!
Interoception refers to the ability to perceive and understand your internal sensations and emotions. This occurs through receptors located throughout your body which communicate to your brain. When the interoceptive system is working properly, you are motivated to take action to restore your balance and help you feel more comfortable. For example, if you get thirsty - you get a drink; if you feel cold - you get a sweater; if you feel anxious - you seek comfort. Simply, interoception is your urge to act.
