Ep52 - How Are You Benefiting By Keeping Your Autistic Child in Diapers?
This week on the podcast I asked a question that might sting a little:How are you benefiting by keeping your autistic child in diapers?I know your gut reaction might be “I’m not benefiting, Michelle! I want my child out of diapers.”But here’s the thing—every family I’ve coached has blind spots. Diapers end up “helping” in ways you don’t even notice:Less mess to clean upNo battles at the toiletNo risk of failing if you don’t even tryNone of those make you a bad parent. They just make you human. But as long as diapers are secretly serving you, they’ll keep winning.That’s why I shared two coaching stories on the podcast this week—about a little girl escaping sliding glass doors and a little boy who always managed to pee in the hallway. Both parents thought their child “didn’t understand.” But once they saw the real problem, progress finally happened.If you’ve been feeling stuck, I want you to hear this episode. It might just be the mirror you need.

Ep51 - Autism Does Not Equal Diapers
Too many parents (and even professionals) believe autism automatically means diapers. In this episode, I unpack why that belief is the biggest roadblock to potty training. You’ll hear why 95% of success is mindset and only 5% is tactics, how comfort vs. discomfort drives your child’s choices, and why YOU—not the therapists—are the expert in your child’s independence.👉 Want my help walking you through the A to Z of potty training?
