207. The Behavior Puzzle; Grace Under Pressure

In this episode of Not Your Average Autism Mom, Shannon dives
into one of the most challenging aspects of raising a child on
the spectrum—managing behaviors. With heartfelt stories from her
own journey as Jordan’s mom and insights from moms in the NYAAM
community, she explores how to balance understanding and
validating your child while setting clear boundaries and
expectations.


Shannon shares practical strategies for managing meltdowns,
teaching replacement behaviors, and building your resilience
muscle along the way. You’ll learn why it’s okay not to have all
the answers and how every twist and turn is an opportunity for
growth—for both you and your child.


Whether you’re navigating aggression, sensory challenges, or
emotional outbursts, this episode reminds you that you’re not
alone. Together, you and your child will figure it out, one step
at a time.


And as always, YOU, Mama, are doing AMAZING at this MOM thing.


Tune in for encouragement, strategies, and the reminder that
you’re stronger than you think.
