Why Your Autistic Child's "NO" Might Be Their Superpower?

What if your child’s refusal isn’t a meltdown, a setback, or defiance—but actually the most regulated response in the room?

In this video, I talk about the difference between resistance as a symptom of struggle vs. resistance as a form of wisdom—and how to respond with more clarity and confidence.

• Why your child’s “no” might be a nervous system boundary, not defiance
• The difference between dysregulation and discernment
• Real-world examples of resistance that reveal what needs to change
• How to shift expectations without “giving in”
• How to use resistance to support growth—not shut it down

📌 If you’ve ever felt like strategies aren’t working, or you’re not sure when to push or when to pause—this video will help you see resistance in a new way.

👇 What has your child’s resistance taught you? Share your insight in the comments—I read every one.
