Why Helping Your Child With Flexibility Is Important

Originally Aired Mon, 04/23/2012 - 2:00pm

Rigidity and challenges with being flexible comprise a major element of autism. Contradicting the emphasis on structure, Raun and Kristin discuss why helping our children improve their flexibility (which also addresses melt-downs, a symptom of flexibility issues) is so critically important. Your hosts also argue about padded push-up bras, create home-improving (and transforming) inventions, and celebrate our kids. Kristin dishes out essential living strategies, and Raun sounds off about the problems of voting for the right person in the age of cynical political parties.

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. Every child is unique, and to attempt to address complex medical issues without a trained and experienced expert is akin to a lay person attempting to perform surgery without any training. Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.
