179. Stress-Free Strategies ; Mastering the Seven Stressors

In Episode 179 of the Not Your Average Autism Mom Podcast, host
Shannon Urquiola dives into the world of understanding and
addressing stressors for children on the autism spectrum.


Shannon breaks down the seven common stressors faced by these
children, including sensory challenges, level of interest,
uncertainty, degree of control, performance demands, social
demands, and length of time. She explores real-life scenarios
where these stressors might show up and provides practical
examples and strategies to support our children proactively.


Listeners learn how to recognize and lessen sensory overload,
navigate uncertainties, provide their children with a sense of
control, and ease social and performance-related stressors.
Shannon emphasizes the importance of understanding and
accommodating these stressors to set our children up for success
in various environments.


When you can assess the stressors and plan appropriate
accommodations, you can help your children navigate challenges
with confidence and resilience.


For Not Your Average Autism Mom members, there is a
7-Stressors Worksheet for you to download in the
portal in the Behavior Support section that will help you figure
out potential stressors in different situations and plan
appropriate accommodations.
