Talk Small is a blog for parents in the trenches.
Autism. Sensory integration. Asperger’s. General weirdness.
While my daughter Quinn went through two years of screening and therapy and re-screening and a dozen potential diagnosis, we here at home kept the faith.
We found ways to communicate, encourage and grow outside of what our therapy team or any other resource were able to advise.
I want to share our ideas with other parents. I want other parents to share their strategies and tactics with me and the world.
You know you are doing strange things to get through to your kid. But in this world in which we live, strange has been redefined.
I have sung loudly at the grocery store. I have talked to invisible people. I have stood for hours in front of a tank full of guppies – and resentful pet store clerks can kiss it.
We’ll try anything, so let’s share our anythings.
What works for one kid may work for another, and we all need as much help as we can get.
