Our autistic/ADHD kids are especially at risk for bullying. Take steps to help prevent your child from being bullied and learn what to do it if you find out they are being bullied at school, online or elsewhere. Bullying can have dire consequences for victims, so it is important that you protect your child. #autism #autismparenting #stopbullying

If you’re a parent raising a kid with autism or any other disability, please listen up. I know how hard life is or how hard life can be. I know with everything going on it makes it even harder and scarier and more overwhelming.

Just remember, you’re doing a great job.

We will get through this together and never forget how lucky your kids are to have you. I’m proud of you and I’m proud to be part of this community.
