About Not Your Average Autism Mom
This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children, but has evolved, and we have listeners across the world who are relatives of someone with autism, special education teachers, and other professionals. My son Jordan was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old, now 30. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week, for 20 minutes or less (most episodes), I discuss topics that directly impact your life on this unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com

[…] Children develop skills in different areas, communication, play, learning, movement, school interaction, and everyday tasks like eating and getting dressed. A developmental gap describes a difference between the skill a child currently demonstrates in a particular area and what is generally expected at their age. But we need to be careful here because we can't take one area where a child struggles and use it to describe their entire development because a seven-year-old who needs help getting dressed is still a seven-year-old. that child might read well understand a great deal of what's happening around them and still need substantial support with buttons or tying their shoes or remembering what's next so we need to understand those different abilities individually and when a child doesn't use speech We cannot assume that tells us everything about what they understand.
