I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but...⤵️ Too often, people only see what they want to see. When a child is "acting out," there’s usually a reason—and it’s not about defiance or attention. Some reasons a child might express their needs through behavior include: ➡️ Sensory overload or unmet sensory needs ➡️ Difficulty understanding or processing language ➡️ Anxiety, frustration, or emotional dysregulation ➡️ Pain, illness, or an unmet medical need ➡️ Feeling unheard, unsupported, or unsafe in their environment If you’ve ever had to explain this to others, you’re not alone. But by sharing and educating, we can make the world a more understanding place.🫶 Save this and tag a fellow parent who understands the struggle! #disabilitymom #disability #specialneeds #parentingrare #autism #autismmom #disabilityparent #raremom #medicalmom #neurodivergent #neurodiversityaffirming #raredisease #autismresources #disabilityresources #rarediseaseresources #pcdh19epilepsy #pcdh19
