WHAT:
In this webinar, Michele Cantara, Co-Director of AANE Adult Services, and her colleague Ned, a young adult on the spectrum, explore the parent/adult child relationship from both perspectives. They share a candid discussion about why the dynamic between adults on the spectrum and their parents is often difficult. In Michele’s highly popular first webinar, "
Parenting Without Power: 10 Principles for Parents of Adult Children with Asperger's
and Related Profiles
,"
she discussed ways to re-frame the way parents interact with their adult child.
Michele is the parent of a young man with Asperger's, and also
coaches and hosts support groups for parents of adults on the spectrum. Previously, Michele spent 35 years in high technology and management consulting. This webinar combines her insights into organizational change management and transformation with the real-life challenges of parenting an adult on the spectrum. She provides pragmatic advice for parents who have tried “tough love” and then realize that parenting
with
power often backfires. "Ned" is an alias for Michele's colleague, a 25-year-old young man who does not wish to disclose his autism diagnosis publicly.
