Autism Live: Am I Doing enough?

Be honest: How often do you go to bed thinking you didn't do enough for your child? Am I Doing Enough?

If you're the parent of a child with autism, you may know that feeling all too well:

"Should I be doing more?"
"Am I missing something?"
"Am I giving my child enough opportunities to learn?"
"Am I doing this right?"

Today on Autism Live's Parent to Parent, we're talking about the incredible pressure parents put on themselves—and why sometimes, you are doing far more than you realize.

We'll talk about the difference between being an engaged parent and feeling like you have to be your child's therapist 24/7, how everyday moments can become opportunities for connection and learning, and why taking care of yourself isn't selfish.
