Parenting an autistic child means your mind is always busy. One small trigger - a meltdown, a school email, an unexpected change - and suddenly your brain is running a marathon of “what ifs”, worries, and self-judgement. And when the mind spirals, everything feels heavier. In this episode, we slow down and talk about something that truly transformed my life once I understood how to use it: thought management. Not in a clinical, robotic way. In a deeply human, practical, everyday-parent way. I’m sharing the same tool I’ve been teaching on Instagram and Facebook this week - The Model - a simple framework that helps you understand why your thoughts feel so loud, why certain situations trigger you instantly, and how you can shift from panic to calm without changing your child or your circumstances. We explore: • Why your brain tells dramatic stories in stressful moments • How repeated thoughts become automatic “playlists” • How to separate facts from the meaning your mind adds • Why allowing emotions is more powerful than trying to control them • How tiny shifts in thinking change how you show up instantly • What it looks like to parent from peace instead of panic • How your regulation directly supports your child’s You’ll hear real examples from everyday autism life - school emails, public meltdowns, therapy setbacks, messy homes, and the guilt that creeps in when we feel like we’re not doing enough. And you’ll learn why you are not your thoughts… You’re the observer. The one who gets to choose what stays and what goes. Thought management won’t erase your challenges, but it will make you steadier, softer with yourself, and far more empowered in the moments that matter. If you’ve been running on edge, feeling like you’re always bracing for the next thing, this episode will give you a breath of relief and a roadmap back to yourself. Explore a variety of tailored resources for parents of autistic children on my website: www.lliautism.net.
