25.01.2022 Places are filling up for the second round of my group ‘Nurturing Mums of Autistic Kids’, beginning 29 October at 11am. 6 weeks of information and support around all things autism. Let me know if you’d like to be part of it

24.01.2022 Self-Care doesn’t need to be fancy. My self-care tonight is a spoonful of Nutella, a chai in a mug that’s just the right size, and my comfy uggies with the hole in the toe. Self-care also doesn’t require significant expenditure of time, effort, or money. For me, it’s best summarised as ‘small actions, done often’. In my work, and in my own life, this really resonates because I’m a busy mum. Many of the clients I support are also busy mums (and dads). If self-care was going ...to be expensive or time-consuming, it just wouldn’t get done. With these principles in mind, often the main barrier between us and self-care is our own thinking. You’ve got to believe that you are worth it. And I’m totally worth that Nutella If you’re in need of support in reaching your self-care goals, check out my online groups via https://www.nurtureclinicalpsychology.com.au/online-programs #selfcare #psychology #perfectlyimperfect #imperfectpsychologist #nurtureclinicalpsychology #ulverstonetasmania #busymum #autism #neurodiversity

22.01.2022 Gratitude post. We discovered some significant water damage at NCP today. Several times, in the midst of phone calls, moving furniture and cleaning up, I would feel his arms encircle me, acknowledging my stress and offering comfort. Seems I may have passed on the empath gene

20.01.2022 Just sayin’

20.01.2022 How social is too social for autism? This one is right up there with ‘he can’t be autistic because he makes eye contact with people’. Well I call bulls#*t. It’s kinda like saying You can’t have diabetes, because you like sweet foods. No one would say that, because one does not necessarily rule out the other. We are all wired to seek connection with others. This is a basic survival mechanism (strength in numbers). Some of us find social interaction as easy as breathing, othe...rs find it more difficult, but it is exceptionally rare to find a person who shows no interest, whatsoever, in other people, ever. Autistic people being told that they are not autistic (usually by people who are not autistic) is extremely hurtful and invalidating. If you are not sure what to say when someone tells you they (or someone special to them) is autistic, try one of these: Thanks for telling me. Is there a way I can support you/them better? I don’t know much about autism, I’d love to hear more if that’s something you feel comfortable with. See more

18.01.2022 Love it when new books arrive

18.01.2022 Compared to many other disabilities and challenges that people face, we don’t know a whole lot about autism. We don’t know what causes autism. We don’t tend to agree on what to ‘do’ about autism (for many autistic people, I’m not convinced that we need to ‘do’ anything at all). We (whether parents, professionals, teachers or extended family members) sometimes don’t even agree that a particular person IS autistic. What we do know, is that parenting an autistic person is differ...ent. It can be incredibly challenging, but also intensely rewarding. If you’d like to be part of a supportive community of mums, where you can: learn from other mums, as well as from a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting autistic people and their families, share your experiences parenting your autistic child/ren, have access to resources to use at home or school Then join our subscription group Go to nurtureclinicalpsychology.com.au to subscribe.

17.01.2022 Parents of autistic children often receive ‘well-meant’ advice from people who do not have a lived experience of autism, have not parented an autistic child, and are not formally trained in supporting autistic people. This advice seems to have the goal of reducing or eliminating particular autism characteristics and behaviours, essentially saying ‘You should do this so your child can be more like the rest of us’. Part of this is human nature: we feel more comfortable with th...ings (including appearances and behaviours) that we are familiar with. But quite a big part of it also comes from ableism. If you are offering advice because you want to help, that’s great. But let’s shift this intention into something that is actually helpful. Like learning about neurodivergence and how to be an ally to an autistic person, or to their parent. Like asking ‘Is there anything I can do to help?’ Like noticing that you want to give advice, but instead of giving it, reflecting on where it is coming from and whether you would find it helpful or hurtful if you were on the receiving end. Taking these small steps, and taking them often, is always going to be more helpful than offering advice to the parent of an autistic child. See more

08.01.2022 When you can’t go (far away) on holidays, do the next best thing...

08.01.2022 3 years ago I was getting ready to open Nurture Clinical Psychology. Time has flown by, and I’m excited to see what the coming years will bring. Thanks to all my special visitors, I really enjoy spending time with you all, whether I’m sitting in the tent, being defended against monsters, figuring out problems with anxiety, peers, and roller coaster hormones while you navigate the phase some psychologists call ‘identity formation’, or sipping tea and sharing your wins and your challenges relating to parenting, relationships and self-care.

08.01.2022 Have I loaned you this book? If so please return it (this is why I would make a poor librarian )

08.01.2022 Here is some challenging advice for dealing with challenging behaviour. It is challenging because it forces us to question and re-assess our core beliefs around how to get things done when raising, teaching, and supporting children. It is not a quick fix (there isn't one), but it is some of the best advice out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xkVT2y9euI

01.01.2022 When you’ve recorded so many videos about autism that you can no longer say the word autism correctly In all seriousness, I can’t wait to launch Nurturing Families of Autistic Kids online program in the next couple of weeks.
