Get Off Your X

Whether your child is simply showing signs of autism, or has been diagnosed and you’re waiting for services, you can help keep anxiety and worry at bay while helping your child and your family by doing something rather than nothing.

A while back, I heard an interview with Navy Seal turned inspirational speaker and author, Jason Redman. He spoke about special missions and how Navy Seals when under attack are trained to retreat, but only long enough to develop a plan, and then they Go.

He said they have to “get off their X,” otherwise they are in greater danger the longer they wait and hide. Obviously, the situation a Navy Seal might be in is often life-threatening and requires heroic acts of bravery.

Parenting, although not as dangerous, requires that same bravery, we have to be brave for our kids, even when we feel immobilized by fear and anxiety, frustration or grief. We have to get up each day and work for them, we learn to be utterly selfless in order to be there for the ones we love the most.

If you are a parent of a child who is struggling developmentally, you may be researching what you can do to help them and Get Off Your X.

To do something while you wait for answers, maybe while you wait for a diagnosis. Your child may have received a diagnosis of autism or other learning or developmental disability and you are waiting for therapy or school services.

Waiting on these things can take an excruciating amount of time, especially when coupled with your worry.

Maybe your child is already receiving services and you're unhappy with the training of the professionals or they are not available when you need them. Maybe their approach just is not right for your child.

You might have an older child on the autism spectrum and want to proactively work with a younger child that you are watching closely for signs of autism. Unfortunately, if you have a child that is not developing as they should, you do not have time to waste. 

There is also the issue of what can you do for yourself, what can you do with the anxiety and grief?

How can you help yourself, what can you do while you wait?

How can you Get Off Your X?
