How to Motivate Autistic and ND Young People with Debbie
Jason and I get asked all the time, “How do you motivate them?”
The short answer is you can’t.
But there are things you can do as a parent and mentor to tap into their own desires and support their success while building your relationship in the process.
What You'll Learn from this Episode:
- Why many common approaches don’t work.
- The common assumptions around why our young people perform or don’t perform how we would like.
- How to tap into long-term motivations.
- The four things to consider that go beyond motivation for why a young person may seem unmotivated.
- Why it takes a complete shift and not just trying something once or twice.
