66 | Neurodivergent Parenting: Real Advice from an Autistic Mom and Special Ed Teacher

Join us this week as we dive into a powerful conversation with Maggie Albrow, a special education teacher who brings a unique perspective to autism. Diagnosed herself and raising two children on the spectrum, she shares practical parenting strategies that anyone can use to better understand their child’s needs, whether or not they have autism. We’ll explore how her ISTJ personality shapes her approach and dive into her son’s ISTP traits, showing how personality and autism intersect to create unique parenting paths.

My son Nathan demonstrated some symptoms when he was younger but as an adult he graduated magna cum laude with a pre med degree and  he is about to take the MCAT exam to get into med school. Here are some of those symptoms:
Highly repetitive behaviors, such as hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating specific phrases.
Unusual responses to sensory input, such as covering ears in noisy environments or fascination with particular textures.
Limited eye contact or unusual speech patterns (e.g., very literal or highly scripted language).
Difficulty with reciprocal social interactions, like sharing enjoyment or showing empathy in conventional ways.
Many people on the autism spectrum tend to score as introverts (I types) on MBTI. Introversion doesn’t cause or correlate with autism directly, but the inclination toward internal processing can align with certain experiences of autistic individuals, who may feel overstimulated by social interactions or need time alone to recharge.
Social and Communication Challenges: People with autism may find it difficult to interpret social cues, understand nonverbal communication, or initiate and maintain conversations. Fe in backseat, especially INTPs.

64 | Inside the Mind of an ISTP, Type 8 Female. Strong-Willed, Independent and Logical

Introverted Thinking Lion ISTP (Introverted Sensing Thinking and Perceiving), Type 8 individuals are intellectually sharp but may lack emotional intelligence, making self-awareness essential. Their affinity for systems makes understanding temperament valuable. Female thinkers constitute only 25% of the population, underscoring the importance of teaching appropriate interactions with women. It's crucial to acknowledge and validate their uniqueness. Encourage Introverted thinking (Ti) individuals to explore logical subjects like engineering, philosophy, or theology, aligning with their strategic, independent nature. For ISTPs, action trumps reading, so practical books with real-life scenarios are ideal. As they mature, purpose-driven books become more appealing. Engage ISTP children by acting out stories and ensuring rules make logical sense to them. Embrace the Lion: Encourage freedom and fun, but address ADHD concerns tactfully, considering placebos and life lessons over medication. Observing the lion's transformative journey from childhood to adulthood reveals adaptability and growth in various aspects of life. Ti's self-discipline and intrinsic motivation require patience and negotiation, favoring silly activities and collaborative rule-making. Recognize and harness Ti-Lion's independence and problem-solving skills, incentivizing with sensory rewards and freedom. Understand Ti-Lion's aversion to losing and preference for logical problem-solving, adapting games and communication methods accordingly. Navigate Ti individuals' lower emotional awareness with rational discussions and group activities, fostering emotional intelligence gradually. For type 8 individuals, fairness and justice are paramount, necessitating fair chore distribution and constructive anger expression outlets. Understanding Ti-Lion's extroverted introversion, provide space for solitude and engage in exciting, challenging activities to connect. Bond with Ti-Lion through stimulating activities, avoiding rigid plans, and embracing spontaneity, fostering a dynamic, fulfilling relationship.
