Im glad you were able to give him the space he asked for. And I hope he feels motivated to try again. I remember what that anticipatory anxiety felt like as a little kid, it can suck the joy out of

Rizable :
these anecdotes help me reimagine the past. I remember being the one who asked to cancel last minute. it was so badly received that the activity became taboo. Still is, but I think "wow, what if..."

I wish there were more groups/forums for Autistic parents. Not parents of autistic children, for parents who are autistic parenting autistic kids. I feel this so much

Wait PDA can cause you to want to cancel plans at the last minute bc it becomes too much?

Oof I feel this. I don’t know if my kid has PDA. He has some traits of it. I could relate to a lot of what you shared. The disappointment and not wanting to show them that you are

You have a lot of compassion for your son and yourself. PDA parenting looks so different and we’re taking the LONG view. You chose building trust, awesome mom.

Genz’s mom :
I have autism & general anxiety but I don’t have PDA. Honest question; what would happen if you took ur daughter & went anyway? Also what if he could verbally express that he doesn’t want to do it

I feel this deeply. We have a huge (rite of passage huge) thing ahead and I’m planning w/ the knowledge in the background that it might not happen. I want it for my kid, but it might not be ok then.

You are doing an amazing job! Simply by seeing your child where you may not have been seen is huge!

Do you have room in your yard for a trampoline? My friend with a PDA son found a used one & he loves it so much! It’s one of the very few things that gets him away from Minecraft/screens.

This is so helpful 💜 professionals told me my kid has severe anxiety and if I let them avoid activities, it would only get worse. So I pushed them to do activities they don’t want to do. It caused so

When he finally pushes through it and feels that relief, and pride that he did the thing and ended up having a great time, it will teach him more than being forced ever would! Great job ❤️

I don't know how to deal with autism burnout in myself. I can't even find a hyperfocus.
