When School Hurts: Understanding Autism and School Avoidance (EP 85)

When School Hurts: Understanding Autism and School Avoidance (EP 85)

Dr. Theresa Regan, a neuropsychologist and certified autism specialist, explains school avoidance in autistic students: how everyday school demands can overwhelm the nervous system, common warning signs, and research showing higher rates of problematic non-attendance.

The episode offers concise, practical strategies—assess schedule, sensory and social demands; build sustainable schedules with scheduled breaks and recovery time; create meaningful roles and connections at school; reduce overload without removing participation; consider homeschooling when needed; and mentor students toward gradual independence.
