    Episode 16: Information Overload

    In a world that's louder, faster, and more overwhelming than ever, individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder often face a unique and exhausting challenge — navigating a constant flood of sensory and cognitive input that most people never notice. In this episode of Keeping It Behavioral, we dive into the science and practice behind information overload in ASD: what's happening in the brain, why it hits differently for autistic individuals, and — most importantly — what we can actually do about it. We'll explore evidence-based behavioral strategies for reducing environmental overwhelm, building predictable routines, and teaching self-regulation skills that stick. Whether you're a behavior analyst, therapist, parent, educator, or someone on the spectrum yourself, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways you can put to work right away. We'll also touch on how to recognize the early signs of overload before a meltdown or shutdown occurs, how to set up environments that work with the autistic brain rather than against it, and how caregivers and support teams can become powerful allies in managing day-to-day overwhelm. Because when we reduce the noise, we make space for real learning, real connection, and real progress.

    Episode 15: Lower Need Learners

    In this episode of Keeping It Behavioral, we’re talking about lower support need autistic learners—a group that is often misunderstood and frequently overlooked. Because their challenges may be less visible, these learners are often expected to keep up without the support they still genuinely need. We discuss masking, executive functioning struggles, social expectations, and the risk of burnout when support systems assume “low support need” means “no support needed.” We also share ways parents, educators, and clinicians can better recognize and support these learners in meaningful ways.

    Episode 14: Sensort Seeking in Autism

    In this episode, we’re talking about sensory seeking in autism—specifically for parents and caregivers. If your child is constantly on the move, loves spinning or crashing into things, makes loud noises, or seeks out certain textures, you’re not alone. We’ll break down why sensory seeking happens, what it means, and how you can support your child in ways that feel safe, practical, and respectful. This conversation is all about helping you better understand your child and feel more confident navigating their sensory world.

    Episode 13: PDA in Autism

    In this episode, we unpack Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) within autism—what it is, how it shows up, and why it’s so often misunderstood. We explore how everyday demands can trigger intense anxiety, why PDA is frequently misread as defiance, and why traditional approaches like rewards and consequences often don’t work. This conversation centers autonomy, nervous-system safety, and compassionate support, offering insight for autistic people, parents, and professionals alike.

    In this episode of Keeping It Behavioral, we explore burnout through the lens of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), focusing on how it affects not just clinicians, but also parents and behavior technicians. We break down the unique stressors each group faces in the world of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and how burnout can silently creep in if left unchecked and ways to support if you sense it is affecting your team.
