The following is an excerpt of a post, which appears on API Speaks, the Attachment Parenting International blog. As a mom who practices attachment parenting principles, and the mother of two children on the autism spectrum, this post really resonated with me and so I wanted to share it with you, the readers of The Autism Education Site.
Attachment Parenting and Autism
I didn’t choose AP as much as Daniel chose it for me. He was a relentless child, even in the womb, who moved, rolled, hiccupped constantly. I gave in 1/3 out of love, 2/3 out of sheer desperation and need for survival. He was only happy being held, so I held him. He would only sleep next to me, so I cuddled him. I breastfed at will and watched my son thrive. He weighed well over 11 lbs at only one month old!
