In my interview on the Autism, ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorder Summit<\/a>\u00a0(June 11 to June 20, 2018) I discuss Self-care strategies for parents that are stressed out, anxious and depressed – without using medications.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may think \u201cwhy do I need research to show what I already feel and know?\u201d but I can share that many of the moms I\u2019ve worked find this validating and almost a relief to know they are not alone in this.<\/p>\n

The paper, Associations between Parental Anxiety\/Depression and Child Behavior Problems Related to Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Roles of Parenting Stress and Parenting Self-Efficacy<\/strong><\/a> reports that<\/p>\n

Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been shown to experience increases in stress, depression, and anxiety, which are also associated with child behavior problems related to ASDs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The paper lists some reasons for the increased parental stress, anxiety and depression:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First and foremost, the realization that there is no cure for the disorder may serve to increase parenting stress.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Aspects of the child’s behavior, specifically socially inappropriate and aggressive behaviors typically associated with ASD, have been found to be associated with increases in parenting stress\u2026 due to a lack of understanding of ASD<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Additionally, raising a child with ASD typically involves allocating extra time to meet the needs of the children.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This event addresses all of the above and more by providing you with insights and tools on how to recover your child using a biomedical and nutritional approach together with traditional behavioral models (#1 addressed). This event also helps you understand what some of the underlying causes of socially inappropriate and aggressive behaviors may be – like pyroluria and low serotonin and gluten issues (#2 addressed). And finally, the planning resources that Tara offers via her coaching program help you manage your time while you\u2019re figuring all this out (#3 addressed).<\/p>\n

    And as an added bonus you get my nutritional advice to help make you more resilient and better able to handle the stress and worry that comes with parenting a cild with ASD or other developmental disorder.<\/p>\n

    As always, I share about the amazing amino acids that provide anxiety-relief and end the overwhelm, spinning mind, second guessing from day one while you\u2019re figuring everything else out.<\/p>\n

    In my interview (which airs on day 1), I share:<\/p>\n
