Any Naomi Aldort, attachment parenting moms here? Or Dads?

[Guest guest]

I have changed over to the AP side of parenting since my second was born, but my

daughter with DS-ASD wasn't parented this way, and all of her therapists, of

course, assumed that she was just tantruming and needed to be " corrected " when

she got upset. Well, a few years and an autism diagnosis later, I would like to

undo some of the " damage " done in the name of mainstream society. How do you

respect your child's body and desires while still " pushing " your DS-ASD kiddo to

do therapy or eat? Or do you? How do you AP a child who will not explore the

world or choose to do anything other than the stimming and obsessive behaviors?

I want to respect her desires, but she doesn't desire anything outside of what

her diagnoses will allow? So confusing!
