Understanding Autism

Behavior Is Communication

Autism isn’t a behavior disorder.
It’s a communication style.

When children don’t yet have the skills or words to explain what they need, behavior becomes their language.

The goal isn’t to stop behavior — it’s to understand it.

Once understanding comes first, we can change how we respond and progress follows.

This belief guides every session, every workshop, and every tool created through SheTeachesMe.

Understanding doesn’t happen by accident.

Families often spend years waiting — for evaluations, services, approvals, or systems to catch up to what they already know about their child.

SheTeachesMe was created for families who don’t want to stay stuck in the waiting phase.

If you’re here, you’re ready for clarity — not more delays

A hands-on workshop for parents & caregivers

You don’t need more theory.

You need clarity you can use now.

This workshop is designed for parents and caregivers who are done waiting for understanding and ready to learn what behavior is actually communicating.

Experience That Predates the System

I’ve worked in classrooms for over 20 years — before there were clear protocols, standardized responses, or consistent supports. I’ve seen how often families are asked to wait while needs remain unmet.

SheTeachesMe exists because understanding shouldn’t be postponed.

This work blends professional experience with lived parenting, offering families guidance that doesn’t rely on perfect timing or ideal systems.

Support should happen when it’s needed — not when it’s approved.

Thank You For Showing Up

Seeking understanding takes effort—and that effort matters.

Help is on the way.

1) Why behavior shows up
Behavior usually shows up when something is too much, too fast, too confusing, too unpredictable—or when a child doesn’t have a better way to communicate yet.
