Read “Finding Joy in the Holidays”
In this special holiday issue of Autism Parenting Magazine, my article offers practical strategies for navigating the holidays.
Finding joy during the holiday season can be difficult for parents of autistic children. From disruptions in routines to overstimulating environments, holidays are ripe with the possibility of meltdowns, aggressions, and other unwanted behaviors. With increased social obligations on top of all that, we can easily get overwhelmed and lose the joy of the season.
Love from Parents
“I was so overwhelmed and exhausted by many facets of my life. Brigitte helped me deal with my feelings about my son's disabilities and specifically his autism diagnosis that I hadn't really processed. Brigette helped me most with letting go of the guilt from his delayed diagnosis and the feeling that I should have done something more, differently, or sooner. I am so thankful Brigette came into my life. She helped me tremendously.”

"Working with Brigitte this past year was transformative and I am very, very grateful. She helped me find a better way of being a mother to an autistic child. I learned how to prioritize, accept, not feel guilty, and how to view my child in a better way. Brigitte is kind, knowledgeable, and has a wealth of experience in this area. Thank you, Brigitte!"

“I had just learned about autism and was anxiously waiting for my son’s diagnosis. My mental health was unraveling, and I felt utterly alone. From our very first session, Brigitte was a source of comfort and strength. She helped me believe that this overwhelming season wouldn’t last forever. She guided me in a way that kept me from losing myself in the process. Brigitte encouraged me to search for purpose in the pain and reminded me that I was capable of so much more than I realized. I am deeply grateful for her support and guidance during this challenging time in my life. She truly helped me find light in the darkness.”
