Parenting for Independence: Strategies for the Transition to Adulthood | Full-Tilt Parenting

Описание: If you're parenting a neurodivergent young adult who seems stuck, this conversation with Patty Laushman is going to feel like a lifeline. Patty is an autism life coach, speaker, and author of Parenting for Independence: Overcoming Failure to Launch in Autistic Emerging Adults, and the founder of Thrive Autism Coaching. In this episode, Patty and Debbie dig into why the "failure to launch" label is both loaded and limiting, and how reframing independence to include positive interdependence can genuinely shift things for families. They talk about self-determination, what it means to support motivation without slipping into control, and how Patty's SBN framework (Support, Boundaries, and Nudges) gives parents a grounded, step-by-step path forward. If shame, anxiety, or eroded trust have been part of your experience in this season of parenting, this episode offers real compassion and real tools for parents raising neurodivergent kids navigating the transition to adulthood.
