‘Keep going, and don’t worry about your speed. You’re making progress, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Forward is forward, no matter how slow!’ (Lori Deschene) We all know how daunting and overwhelming it can feel parenting a child at the best of times, don’t we, let alone during the toddler phase or teenage years? Yet even when your child doesn’t seem to heed anything you say, take heart that they are still taking it all in! In good time you will start to notice subtle changes so be encouraged, in the meantime, to keep doing what you’re doing! And, where possible, be sure to provide even more love and attention because it all counts! Remember, too, that it’s okay to seek out some support for yourself to help you stay on track during those challenging episodes, especially if it’s all getting a bit much! My name is Lyn and having been a parenting coach for 20+ years, I’m used to coming up with more practical tips and new ideas for you to try out so that you can hit the ground running. My focus is on creating a range of solutions that strengthen those all important parent-child relationships using an Observe, Do, Review approach because it’s an effective method for learning and implementation. Act today and book a Power Hour with me so we can join forces to create an amazing and bespoke plan of action for you! Simply write ‘PH’ in the box below and I’ll take it from there. Know you don’t have to go it alone because we’re in this together and help is at hand!

read for recent revelations & swipe for clips of an amanda seales interview on authenticity, connection, and neurodivergence. there’s so much to process from this 3 hour interview. i laughed, i cried, i raged, laughed some more, and felt so seen and validated by listening to her experience. recently, i’ve discovered that i’m a highly sensitive person, and it has validated so many ways of being, responses to my sensitivities, that are out of the ordinary and have been mislabeled as moody or irritable. i saw myself in amanda in so many ways that this interview prompted me to take an unofficial online screening test for autism which resulted in a 50% probability that i’m borderline or high functioning autistic. i don’t know that i’ll ever be tested. 1–it is my belief that big far-mah wants every one of us diagno$ed with something they can offer a drug treatment for. 2–it’s enough for me to know that my brain functions differently than most in our society, and that i get to continue learning new ways to live in the world that feel safe & satisfying. one thing i wasn’t prepared for are the waves of grief and relief that come with these realizations. it feels like so much was lost, yet there is so much hope to make more sense and ease out of living. more to come as i process and live with this new information. this interview is so worth our time and attention. amanda seales and BLACK WOMEN deserve to be protected…believed…loved…and respected for our existence.

Self-care Sunday: ‘Take time to enjoy the little things today!’ Today is about slowing down, particularly if you’re a parent, and staying in the present and casting aside your worries about past misdemeanours or about what’s yet to come! By deciding to stay in the present, you stand a better chance of noticing and paying attention to the wonderful ‘Sparkly Moments’ that happen in abundance on a daily basis and learn to appreciate them accordingly. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, ‘Sparkly Moment’, let me tell you what it is… In a nutshell it’s a small but lovely something that may bring a smile to your face, provide a bit of respite to a tense situation and/or act as a ray of hope that things can change for the better after all. If you’re down on your share of ‘Sparkly Moments’ or could do with a bit of help to notice them in your life, especially if you’re a parent, then let me be of service to you! Having coached families and individuals for 20+ years where there are additional challenges arising from a formal diagnosis of ADHD or autism, I am confident I can help you to (re)discover yours! My focus is on creating win-win solutions that strengthen those all important parent-child relationships using an Observe, Do, Review approach because it’s an effective method for learning and implementation. Take action today, DM me and book a Power Hour with me! It will give you the opportunity to talk through your situations, create a plan of action and ensure you come away from the hour with a raft of practical tips that are easy to implement. Simply write ‘PH’ in the comments box below and I’ll take it from there! I’m here to be of service and to ensure you hit the ground running! And, of course, If this post resonates with you, drop a ❤️/🙂, share, leave a comment and/or keep for later! #hitthegroundrunning #parentingtoolkit #helpisathand #parentchildrelationships #getintouch #acttoday #freshreminder #behaviouralproblems #specialneeds #neurodiversity #SEND #getthingsdone #littlethings #onthespectrum #ADHD #liketofidget #cantsitstill #ASD #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #selfworth #selfcarethreads

There are so many precious moment at the bakery. In the business of the day I feel lucky if I observe it let alone document it. Jason joined us two weeks ago and slowly is learning the ways of the bakery. This week Chris took him under his wing for the entire day. They made cookies together, washed dishes, rolled cookies, swept and whatever else was needed. The moments I observed them working together just made my heart bigger. ❤️. ...

hout-out Saturday: In amongst the stress of trips to the hospital this week for one of my sons, it’s been punctuated with ‘Sparkly Moments’ seeing his siblings rally round him! Be sure to place your own ‘Sparkly Moments’ on record so they don’t go unnoticed! 🌟🌟🌟 Never underestimate the importance of giving a shout-out where credit is due, however big or small, and because it is good for the soul! Don’t forget this is also your opportunity to give yourself a well-deserved ‘shout-out’ for all those times you undoubtedly managed to rise above the presenting challenges and find workable solutions, too! 🙌 Of course, if you’re a parent who is struggling with it all and are looking for a fresh perspective, some new ideas or simply a little moral support, the good news is you don’t have to go it alone because we’re in this together and help is at hand! I’m Lyn and I support parents, particularly those whose children have a formal diagnosis of ADHD or Autism, to understand the power of language and harness it more effectively to achieve win-win outcomes that build stronger, more purposeful parent-child relationships Why not act today, get in touch and book a Power Hour with me?

Heading to CT today, then NYC tomorrow for Illionoise the Musical & @officialthewho Tommy. So, figured I’d take the morning to ride over to Wells where a certain pooch will be staying the weekend.

Fun Friday: ‘Pass me that parenting handbook. I need to smack my kid with it!’ Have you ever wanted or been tempted to say the same kind of thing? I’m sure you’re not alone with that sentiment be it meant in jest or in all seriousness! What I would say, however, is that if you feel you’ve reached the point where you need a hand in order to parent your child in a way that’s going to focus on win-win solutions without the constant battles you can rely on me to turn things around for you! Im Lyn and having been a parenting coach for 20+ years, I’m used to coming up with practical tips and ideas that are quick to implement so that you can hit the ground running. My focus is on creating a range of solutions that strengthen those all important parent-child relationships using an Observe, Do, Review approach because it’s an effective method for learning and implementation. Why not book a Power Hour with me so we can join forces to create an amazing plan of action for you that gets you back on top of things once and for all?

Because every family deserves a photographer that understands.. well, autism. Hi! My name is Cassie and I am a mom of two on the Autism spectrum! After meeting so many other amazing parents with children on the spectrum and hearing their stories and witnessing their defeats across our platforms, I have decided to utilize my skills with my camera to create a fun and unique approach to family photos and school pictures! As someone who has experienced first hand the rushed and pricey holiday minis only to be sent a couple images where none of us were looking at the camera at the same time, where semester after semester we were sent home zero school photos because our children were terrified, and the day in and day out of the struggle of being an autism parent with children afraid and stressed out behind a camera with photographers who simply just don’t understand, I have decided to create a laid back approach that is more about connection and less about filling my day with shoot after shoot. If you made it this far, please follow along my journey as it only the beginning and watch us grow and prosper just as the Willows along the Rivers… as wild as the rivers run.. and if you know, as autism parents, wild and out in nature barefoot and free. 👣 #spectrum #onthespectrum #smallbusiness #newbusiness #autismacceptance #autismmom #autism #boymom #letthembewild #riverandwillowphotography #photography #newphotographer #autismphotographer #autismphotography

Females with autism can display relatively good communication skills and social competency that overall mask the diagnosis. They tend to have an increased ability for self-control and can even develop pretty complex empathy skills that would deter a diagnosis. #onthespectrum #ASD
Plinko. My favorite carnival game next to Skee-Ball. I could play this for hours just to be able to listen to the plinking noises. I don’t care about prizes. I asked James if I should buy it and he shut me down so fast, it wasn’t even funny. He didn’t even consider it!! So I came up with an idea. Okay, so hear me out. I buy it anyway and come up with some way to connect kids’ chores to prizes such as clean your room and earn an extra snack, stay up an hour later, more computer time, etc. Surely it would be okay then, right? I can just do what he always does. Buy what I want and then text, “Don’t be mad!” 😂 I’m loving this plan. Please feel free to encourage me to do this in the comments. I need more ammo. “Look honey! All these people said I should buy it!” 😜 No really. I know it’s hard to tell looking at Thomas’s head but the boys got haircuts today. Matthew isn’t that much taller than Thomas. It’s the angle of the short lady holding the camera. They both look so much better. Ella spent some of her well earned money a couple days ago and the package arrived today. She makes me laugh. This was an autistic purchase. Chew toys to keep her mouth busy. Socks with separators so her toes don’t touch while she sleeps. Compression socks to quiet her legs after a late night shift. The colorful ribbon looking things are actually hair clips. Clips with colored hair. I don’t know. I thought she was nuts until all the girls put them in their hair. They were actually super cute with no commitment to a permanent color. She was thrilled with all of her purchases! I left a note for Matthew this morning. The way I wrote it is how he talks to me daily. Mom. Mom. Mom. Hey mom. Guess what? Mom, guess what? Mom. Mom. And then he pulls a guitar pick or a pop tab out of his pocket to excitedly show me. Why? Because he’s a dork that likes to pester his mother. This was my attempt to get him back. I helped set up the St. Mary’s spring rummage sale. The basement is packed! If you’d like to shop an indoor sale, go in through the side door where the arrow is pointing. . 600 N. Liberty St. in Independence, MO. Come say hello! Th-F 8-5, Sat. 8-6:30.

Tomorrow is take your child to work day! Taking your child to work day can be a great opportunity for kids to gain insight into the working world, learn about different careers, and understand the importance of education and hard work. It fosters a connection between parents and their children, allowing them to see firsthand what their parents do during the day and the skills required for various jobs. Additionally, it can inspire children to set goals for their future careers and provides a chance for parents to impart valuable lessons about responsibility, professionalism, and the value of work. School will be open regular school hours if you choose to opt out! For those parents taking their child to work, please bring an excuse letter on Friday! Thank you. . . . #takeyourchildtoworkday #disability #school #schoolforspecialeducationneeds #onthespectrum

ADHD is best-known for its symptoms of inattention, distractibility, difficulty finishing tasks, but did you know that people with ADHD can also swing to the other extreme? Sometimes, I get SO absorbed in a task that I am pretty much obsessed. I lose track of time and can't seem to stop fixating on it (often in a good way- like a project I'm super excited about). That's what we call HYPERFOCUS. It's a common experience for those with ADHD. Hyperfocus isn't always a positive. While it can help us dive deep into a task, it can also make it hard to switch attention to other important things, or handle being interrupted. It's like being caught up in a wave—you're carried away by the excitement, but it can be hard to find your way back to shore. In the end, it's a unique aspect of ADHD that comes with its own set of challenges and strengths. By understanding how it affects us and learning to manage it effectively, we can harness its power to lead more fulfilling lives. Keep in mind, someone can experience hyperfocus and NOT have ADHD. And not everyone with ADHD experiences hyperfocus, either. Even 2 people with the same condition can have different combinations of symptoms (and people without that condition might still have symptoms of it!) Nuance, yall. Have you experienced hyperfocus before? Share your experience in the comments. Let's support each other on this journey. 🚀 * * * * * * #adhdsupport #intrusivethoughts #therapists #neurodivergent #adhdawareness #thewindycity #chicagocity #neurodiversity #adhd #chicagotherapy #chicagotherapist #adhdcoaching #adhdstruggles #onthespectrum #adhdadults #adhdtips #adhdcoach #adhdisreal #copingstrategies #mentaldisorders

I haven't made a CENT on either of my books yet, so I work a full-time job which means I have even LESS time than I'd like to write! Not complaining though, because it's a really good job and I enjoy what I do 💗 They say money can't buy happiness, but it WOULD be a lot easier if some insanely wealthy person decided they liked me and offered to pay me a stipend like they used to with garden hermits 😂 Why yes, I would LOVE to get paid to be weird and reclusive, I already do that for free! 🧙♀️ Jokes aside, being an adult with ADHD is a TASK. I'm using 90% of my CPU every day just to open my laptop, forget what I was doing, close it, remember and open it again. #authorapril2024 #April24 #writing #notenoughtime #writerthings #authorthings #authorlife #adhd #ND #audhd #adhdauthor #onthespectrum #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #scifiauthorsofinstagram #romanceauthorsofinstagram
Pearls of Wisdom Wednesday: ‘’Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion!’ How easy is it for you as a parent to strike a happy medium when it comes to emotions? I don’t know about you but at times the notions of stress and passion just feel like they’re the two sides of the same coin! Either way, I still think most people will opt for passion rather than stress, don’t you think? Having raised 4 children, one of whom had a diagnosis of ADHD as a child, I can truly say l’ve had my share of stress, but I have also lived to tell the tale! My passion, on the other hand, is supporting parents to become the best version of themselves that they can be and, of course, it takes time to build trust and rapport in order to maximise engagement as well as commitment! if you’re parent who recognises you need a fresh perspective and some support that will result in a workable plan you can adopt with your child that’s practical and easy to implement, I’m sure I have the answers you’ve been looking for! For 20+ years, I’ve been supporting parents, particularly those whose children have a formal diagnosis of ADHD or Autism, to understand the power of language and harness it more effectively to achieve win-win outcomes that build stronger, more purposeful parent-child relationships So act today, get in touch and book a Power Hour with me and I’ll equip you with a raft of tips and strategies to ensure you hit the ground running and get things done!

It feels weird to just post selfies of myself, but I’ve been having a lot of feelings lately that I think should be talked about. I talked a little about this on my stories the other night - but before I had E (and when he was still pretty little), I was a huge makeup person. I did all sorts of creative makeup looks, collected limited edition makeup, consumed hours and hours of content about cosmetics. I have loved makeup for a very long time. But I don’t really have the energy, the time, or the money to continue to collect and experiment with makeup like I used to. During the day, I'm E's caregiver. My energy goes to him. If I do my makeup, it's a couple of products and max 10 minutes. After he goes to bed, I'm cleaning or working or just trying to exist as a human by myself. Some days I feel like I'm losing myself. And then something happens and I'm reminded that the makeup-loving woman still exists inside of me and needs to be let out sometimes. So the other night, instead of cleaning or working, I played with makeup for the first time in a long time. I used products I haven’t used in forever and even a lipstick I’ve never used before. And I loved it. Sometimes, who I was before I became a mother feels like someone I’ll never be again. And I won’t be her exactly again, but that doesn’t mean I can’t incorporate who she was into who I am now. #autisticwomen #autisticwoman #autisticadults #autisticmom #actuallyautistic #ocdadvocate #ocdwarrior #specialneedsmom #asdmom #autismmama #autismmomlife #neurodivergentmom #specialneedsparenting #specialneedsparent #specialneedsfamily #autismfamily #neurodivergentfamilt #mommakeup #thisisautism #onthespectrum #autismacceptancemonth #autismawarenessmonth #ocdawareness #motherhoodthroughig #rawmotherhood #mommentalhealth #autismcommunity #autismadvocate #omahamom #midwestmom

Brixton’s absolute favorite thing is verbal praise. He loves to be told he’s doing a great job. It fills his cup more than anything. He often will write his scripts out. “Great job Brixton” is one of them! 🤩 He currently can spell 150+ words that I know of. #autism #autismacceptance #onthespectrum #neurodivergent
POWER OF LEGO: For 8-year-old Luke Harmon of East Setauket, LEGO is more than a toy. Diagnosed with autism at age 3, Luke has difficulty communicating. But his father says Luke found his voice to connect with the world when he started building with Lego. This summer the Harmon family will launch Luke’s Lego Camp to share the benefits of Lego with children of different abilities. Luke’s story is featured today @newsdaytv and @newsday. 🧩 #lego #autism #autismawareness #onthespectrum #aspergers #inclusion @lukeslegocamp
