Episode 12: Decoding Mimicking vs. Mirroring

Today we venture out to the Georgia Aquarium putting our sensory parenting to the test to maximize enjoyment and mitigate sensory overload, meltdown and shutdown potential for autistic Dad and Son. Together we learn about mammalian "mimicking" from the dolphin show and compare that neuro-biodiverse "mirroring" social go-to's. Finally, inspired by a visit to the ENT to retest hearing and smelling sensory nerve function post-COVID for the little one, we explore olfactory nerve support like Lavender and discuss it's potentially helpful role in downregulating autistic and neuro-biodiverse individuals. Tune in as we find the humor and realities of life on the neuro-biodiversity scale.
