Bullying Program), I have learnt that one of the most important tools for building resilience is promoting a healthy self-concept (embracing the authentic self). When you build a healthy self-concept, clients are eager to learn and are more likely to develop a self-compassionate mindset that acknowledges that support is vital and needed. It further promotes a sense of purpose, in which clients feel empowered to embrace their unique strengths and abilities to contribute to society in ways that feel authentic and meaningful to them. Neurodivergent clients have an admirable level of psychological grit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b5a99a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b5a99a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8ea120c\" data-id=\"8ea120c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c27c722 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c27c722\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As part of self care it is important to do more of what fills your cup (to recharge and feel alive) and try to do less of the things that lead to social fatigue and\/or burnt out. It is OK to give yourself permission to feel what you feel. It is OK to take time out if you need. It is OK to have request accommodations. It is OK to cancel commitments, leave early or not answer a call. It is OK to want to be alone. It is OK to engage in stimming behaviours that are helpful. It is OK to be assertive and set boundaries. Other people can request you fit into their box however please acknowledge that their box says more about their limits then it does about your limits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

including seeking help. It is important to acknowledge the child\u2019s inner world (emotional attunement) and allow yourself permission to leave a situation (e.g., challenge the notion that it is not acceptable to leave an event early) and\/or advocate for appropriate accommodations. There is a wealth of excellent literature on the benefits of emotional attunement (in terms of self-regulation, attachment styles, sense of self). Whilst all children must learn to emotionally self-regulate, this skill is critically important for Autistic children, as they are more susceptible to emotional contagion (the tendency to absorb, catch or be influenced by other people\u2019s feelings) and benefit greatly from validating their experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
