Raise your hand if the thought (or maybe even the memory) of potty training gives you anxiety! This parenting milestone sure brings up a lot of feelings, especially for those of us in the disability community. Here’s what we’re chatting about today:
Micha’s potty training journey (including some behind-the-scenes voice notes and training tips!)
The impact of a dual diagnosis (Down syndrome and autism) on potty training
Dealing with internalized ableism
PLUS: WHY do we actually want certain things for our child? Is it for their safety or for societal expectations?
And also, happy Autism Acceptance Month! Lets celebrate that and remember: learning new things can take a long time. And that’s okay.
