    Beyond Words: Understanding Autism Communication with Kirsty

    What if the behaviours we often focus on are actually forms of communication? In this episode of Motherhood in Stereo, I sit down with Kirsty from mammaandtommy for an honest and insightful conversation about autism, communication, and the realities of parenting an autistic child. Together, we explore how autistic children communicate beyond words and why understanding those differences can transform the parent-child relationship. We discuss: • What autism communication really looks like• Scripting and why repetition can be meaningful communication• Stimming and its role in emotional regulation and feeling safe• Supporting children through overwhelm and big emotions• Food challenges, sensory differences, and reducing mealtime stress• Potty training, parental pressure, and the harmful myths surrounding "lazy parenting"• Screen time and how it can sometimes support regulation, learning, and connection• How parents can better understand the messages behind behaviour Kirsty also shares her personal experiences as a parent, advocate, and workshop facilitator, offering practical advice and reassurance for families navigating their own autism journey. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply wanting to learn more about autism, this episode is a powerful reminder that communication is about so much more than words. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.
