And although you have their absolute best interests at heart,
it may still feel like they are intentionally ignoring you or perhaps giving you a hard time.
Which ends up leaving you feeling confused (and truthfully a little frustrated).
If you’re tired of asking yourself: “Why aren't they listening to me?”
then it’s time to consider another approach.
Because
THE TRUTH IS
it’s NOT that they are choosing not to listen
but rather
something else is a play here.
YOU have the opportunity to create so much IMPACT for your autistic child EVERY DAY when you provide the right kind of support suited to them.
And when you truly deepen your understanding of your child’s unique needs and ways of being, you can begin to reframe those challenging moments and come up with solutions that work.
Hi, I'm Aryn!
From Wild Seeds SLP
I’m a Speech-Language Practitioner specializing in using neurodiversity-affirming practices to support autistic children.
I so strongly and passionately believe in these practices, that I’ve made it my mission to share more about them with as many people as possible. On my own learning journey, I’ve come to realize that understanding autistic differences and seeking connection are the keys to supporting autistic kids to grow, learn, and thrive! Now I get to support autistic children's authentic nature while being a guide on their way to becoming a 'well-being', not just 'well-doing'. And I want the same for you! Together we can build a pathway to acceptance and create a ripple of positive impact out into the world.
I am passionate about supporting learning through play, nurturing self-advocacy, and shifting perspectives. I am also the co-author of two independently published children’s books: ‘Narwhal Makes a Sandwich’ and ‘Narwhal Gets Stuck’.
What nurtures my wild seed is to continuously be curious and to find a little bit of play in the everyday!
