So I would just caution parents to be like, you know what?

There's little baby steps you can take.

You don't have to go whole hog like deep in and like change everything overnight.

Yeah, I think so.

What really helped me understand this better is when I started looking at kids through the lens of resilience and stress.

rather than diagnosis or, you know, being different or saying whatever, like just all kids, like you say, they're experiencing stress at a different, they're experiencing stress differently.

So what we need to do, what we need to work with, what we have to work with is understanding and reducing their stress load and improving their stress tolerance.

And we have to do that with every kid.

And we have to do that with every adult.

Like that's, that's just,

life.

We need to address our stress and we need to improve our stress tolerance.

And yeah, with kids who are differently wired and kids with various diagnoses, I wouldn't even call it an imbalance, but that tension between the stress that they have and their stress tolerance has been, there's a wider gap there or it's been there for a long time.

And so, yeah, they are a bit more

they've got less wiggle room.

know, I think of in terms of like filling a glass, if you have the glass of the body and the water in the glass is their stress.

Some kids just, they're at their limit or their, you know, their water is, their glass is full.

And so, you know, any little transition in their day or unpredictability in their day, which is, you know, if their glass was less full, then they could tolerate that.

They could handle that without having a tantrum.

it throws them over the edge.
