Hear The Autism Anthem by Dave Eaton
Dave’s new music video: “Brief Relief”
The All About Autism Podcast is sponsored by Eaton Alliance.
May I just say, I absolutely loved this episode! I started offering choices to my children at a very early age, and had constant criticism for it; because I’m the parent and need to act like it, or they believed the child was too young to choose. But when it’s a choice of “do you want to wear the blue shirt or the green shirt today?” it helps them learn to begin making decisions and thinking for themselves, regardless of whether the child/adult is on the spectrum or not.
Anyway, I really appreciate the validation of this episode, and loved Dave’s comment about setting the parameters of the choices (because that keeps it age or skill appropriate) so they can experience the natural consequences.
Love, love, loved this! Thank you!
