Surrounding Yourself with Supportive People

Originally Aired Sun, 03/03/2013 - 2:00pm

Many parents of children on the spectrum find that they have friends or family members who seem unsupportive, critical, or undermining. Some parents experience this as a drag on their morale. Raun and Kristin discuss the importance or surrounding yourself with people who are supportive of you and what you are doing for your child. As well, they argue about what makes a person attractive, and they celebrate our kids. Kristin talks about five mood-boosting foods, and Raun rants about people with extra strong body odor.

AutismOne is an educational organization, and all lectures, information, and presentations are for informational purposes only.

We strongly advise that all children needing specific medical or legal advice seek counsel of a duly licensed professional.

Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.
