The Conscious Parent’s Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome: A Mindful Approach to Helping Your Child Succeed with William Stillman

Airing Thursday, 3 December 2015, 7:00 PM ET

William Stillman offers a holistic perspective to parenting, together with tips and strategies for caring for one’s self in order to be in the best position to care for one’s child with a unique and different way of being in the world. This asks for an awareness of being in the moment as well as pausing for meditative reflection, sustenance and solitude. An exercise for the second half of the show will require that listeners have a pad of paper and pen ready and available for a brief autism simulation. An opportunity to process the simulation and discuss its impact may be debriefed.

In his work to support those who love and care for individuals with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, William sets a tone for our collective understanding of the autistic experience in ways that are unprecedented.

In so doing, he highlights the exquisite sensitivities of our most valuable, wise and loving “teachers.”
