Autism Live: Is your child overwhelmed—or is it a "behavior problem"?

Your child holds it together all day at school… and then comes home and falls apart. Meltdowns, shutdowns, refusal, tears, irritability—or suddenly needing to be completely alone.

Sound familiar?

On this week's Parent to Parent, Shannon Penrod takes a closer look at what may be happening underneath the behavior.

🔹 Is your child exhausted from holding it together all day?
🔹 Could sensory overload, anxiety, transitions, or too many demands be playing a role?
🔹 How can we recognize the signs that our child is becoming overwhelmed before the meltdown?
🔹 And when should we reduce the demands—and when is it time to teach a new skill?

Sometimes what looks like "bad behavior" is a child communicating, "This is too much for me right now."

Let's talk about how parents can look beyond the behavior, find the clues, and better understand what their child is trying to communicate.

Parent to Parent — because sometimes we just need another parent to say, "Yep. I've been there." 💙Join us at 10am PST!
