In the pursuit of wellbeing, we shouldn’t seek to make children less autistic – our mission should be to help them become autistically happy. Internationally renowned Belgian lecturer, researcher and author Peter Vermeulen, Ph.D., joins Lindsey to discuss his newest book, “What Really Works for Children with Autism.” The book takes a slightly more non-traditional angle in explaining that autism shouldn’t overshadow children’s needs. The need to be understood is universal for all humans; neurotypical caregivers can support autistic children by helping them draw a road map for life occurrences. Lindsey and Peter talk about predictability, consistency, planning and how making small changes can have negative or positive impacts. In 2019, Peter received the Passwerk Lifetime Achievement Award for his more than 30 years of work in the field of autism. Published in August, “What Really Works for Children with Autism,” written with Kobe Vanroy, can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/What-Really-Works-Children-Autism/dp/1957984961
