220. Surviving the Time Change; Spring Forward Without The Stress
Mar 04, 2025Daylight Savings Time is coming, and if you’re anything like me, you know this shift can throw everything out of whack—especially for our autistic kids who thrive on routine.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the debate over Standard Time vs. Daylight Savings, how the time change impacts our bodies, and why this seemingly small shift can feel huge forour kids.
But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! I’m sharing practical, easy-to-implement strategies you can start right now to help your child (and yourself!) adjust with less stress. From small bedtime shifts to light exposure hacks, movementstrategies, and ways to prep your child in advance, this episode is packed with tips to help make this transition as smooth as possible.
And since I know how tough these changes can be, I’m releasing this episode early so you have time to put these strategies into action before the clocks move forward onSunday, March 9th.
You’re not alone in this, Mama. We’ll get through it together—just like we always do. And above all, remember… YOU are doing AMAZING at this MOM thing!
Tune in for encouragement, strategies, and the reminder that you’re stronger than you think. 💙
