Lauren is a married mom of two girls, who found my book and courses and is ready to begin to Turn Autism Around for her oldest daughter, Avery. She is taking the “hot seat” as we discuss her fall into the autism world, the concerns Lauren has had for Avery since birth, how to implement the steps of the Turn Autism Approach at home and with ABA therapists, and teaching toddlers with autism.

This family's fall into the autism world began before the birth of their 3-year-old daughter. When Lauren was pregnant with Avery, she experienced low movement and had to have a C-Section birth due to Avery’s breech position. Her concerns continued throughout infancy as Avery expressed excessive crying without consolement. During childcare, Avery began to demonstrate problem behaviors and Lauren noticed she was very different and behind peers her age and younger. The problems and concerns continued and even worsened through the hit of COVID-19 when we were all in home isolation and after the birth of Lauren’s youngest daughter, Skylar. Pediatricians falsely reassured her and explained away Lauren’s concerns. After much research and pushing, she finally was able to see a developmental pediatrician that gave her the diagnosis of severe autism. 

It is stressful and scary to receive a diagnosis like severe autism. I want to really emphasize the idea that just because you have this diagnosis now at age 3, does not mean this is your life now. Lauren is a motivated parent and she is educating herself on how to do her best for Avery. The Turn Autism Approach is made for parents and professionals like Lauren to help increase desired behaviors while decreasing problem behaviors. Together, Lauren and I go over the steps and important order of the Turn Autism Around approach. 

In today’s video you’ll learn:
-What does a diagnosis of severe autism mean?
-What steps to take with strengths and needs.
-The right steps to take in the right order.
-What to do with safety needs and meltdowns.
-How to work with an ABA specialist in your home.
