Have you heard the term “pick your battles?” It’s not just a quip! Used thoughtfully and systematically, it can be an amazing tool in your behavioral toolbelt! It helps reduce power struggles, preserves energy (yours and theirs), prioritizes safety and core values, and creates opportunities for positive choices.
Join us as we discuss this and other ways to alleviate the power struggles with my friend and colleague Alicia Like, M.Ed., BCBA.
📝Takeaways :
- 🧩 April is Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month so things like puzzle piece symbols are front and center.
- The puzzle piece was historically associated with the idea that individuals with autism were "missing" a piece or were incomplete and was created without autistic input.
- ♾️ The infinity symbol represents the idea of infinite possibilities, reflecting the diversity of experiences within the autism spectrum. It emphasizes acceptance, understanding, and the celebration of neurodiversity. It was created by autistic individuals.
- Many people still embrace the puzzle piece and feel it is a fitting representation, but many people have chosen to use the infinity symbol instead.
- 💲There is a “dark side” of autism that is rarely talked about, in that individuals with severe autism have significant barriers, intensive needs that cause financial strain.
