Listen "When they refuse help...now what?"
Episode Synopsis
Why is avoidance such a common way we deal with life? First, let's recognize that we all refuse help.
For example, it took me a year to complete the 24-hour urine test my doctor recommended because...well, it sounded so gross. I didn't want to do it. Now that I've done it, I've learned how to strengthen my body, in this case to keep my bones strong.
Recently, one of my graduates struggled getting and keeping a good job. So I found help, we got him set up, and then he stopped attending meetings.
Why does this happen and what can we do? Because, let's face it, in these situations we must focus on what WE can do. We know we can't change anyone else but us and change takes work.
In this video I offer:
1 What autistic people NEED (not want) that those of us who love them can help them create,
2 Fifteen ways that I've found work to get through resistance, and
3 Eight ways I know don't work.
