We asked a few of our therapists what advice they give to parents after a child is diagnosed with autism, and here's what they had to share!

Being autistic doesn't mean that something is wrong with you or that you need therapy to fix something-- this is one of MANY things that we wish others knew about spectrum disorder.

Here's what one of our Ellie therapists in Boston, MA shared about ASD.

Having trouble calming your anxiety and telling yourself that it'll all be fine? 🧘 Try these skills:

1. Box Breathing- This is when you inhale for four counts, hold your breath for four counts, exhale for four counts, and then hold for four counts. Repeat this pattern a few times. ✨ The even and controlled nature of box breathing can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a sense of calmness and reducing stress.

2. Get a cold glass of water- The act of getting up, moving, and focusing on drinking a cold glass of water can serve as a distraction from anxious thoughts. 🚰 Sipping cold water activates the vagus nerve, which promotes a relaxation response, counteracting the body's stress response.

3. Listen to music- Music has been shown to activate various areas of the brain associated with emotions, memory, and reward. 🧠 It can release neurotransmitters like dopamine, which contribute to feelings of pleasure and happiness, counteracting the negative impact of anxiety.

Therapy isn't always easy, but it's where the real work happens. It's about facing the tough stuff, digging deep, and growing through the discomfort. 💪

🌙✨ Eid Mubarak from Ellie Mental Health! Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed celebration filled with joy, peace, and togetherness. 🎉

April 2nd is World Autism Acceptance Day! 🌈 Find suggestions for how to support and information on our blog post: https://elliementalhealth.com/how-to-support-your-autistic-loved-one/

Autism Acceptance Month is about embracing the spectrum and recognizing that every person with Autism has unique abilities, strengths, and challenges. We can learn so much from each other and create a more inclusive world by celebrating these differences.

How are you promoting acceptance and inclusion in your community? Let's keep the conversation going. 🌟

We've all heard it ("____ is so bipolar today") and this type of language only contributes to the stigma.

Stigmatizing language like this leads to shame, making it difficult for people to openly discuss their experiences or seek help without fear of judgment.

No one should be ashamed of having bipolar disorder-- and there's help for people struggling.

“Begin to recite inwardly the following phases directed to yourself.
You begin with yourself because without loving yourself it is almost impossible to love others.

May I be filled with loving-kindness.
May I be well.
May I be peaceful and at ease.
May I be happy.”
Jack Kornfield
