Figuring Out Behavior Changes

This week on the Autism Parent Club Podcast, we’re opening up about a tough season in our home — our non-speaking son has been more dysregulated lately, showing increased aggression toward himself and others. We’re walking through how we’re working with his school and autism center to figure out what’s going on, one careful step at a time. From adjusting medication timing and testing possible pain or food sensitivities, to collecting daily behavior data and collaborating with his team, we’re sharing the real-life process of trying to understand the why behind challenging behaviors. If you’ve ever wondered how to handle sudden behavior changes in an autistic child, or felt unsure where to start when your child seems “off,” this episode will help you feel less alone — and more equipped to problem-solve with compassion and curiosity. Whether you're at the beginning of your autism parenting journey or deep in the trenches, this podcast is here to offer you support, solidarity, and hope.
