The Greene/ Ablon / CPS / Think:Kids philosophies have been a life changer for our family. It even changed the way I ran my business and dealt with employees for the positive.

Look, ignore trolls. We tried all the regular autism modalities (ABA, CBT, dbt) nothing worked until we accepted PDA, leaned into the Ross Greene model. Yes, it took awhile. Yes, my kid showered rarely and played a lot of video games for awhile. But understanding him (and burnout) and totally changing our approach made a huge difference. Look, if the traditional model of rewards and consequences work for your kid, great and you are lucky. But if they don’t, understanding PDA was huge. My kid went from wanting to drop out of middle school to acing AP classes, having a job, and is planning to go to college.
