Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review. This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you helpful

information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now let's get

started. Welcome, everyone. We are chatting today about the five ways to identify your triggers and decrease parent meltdowns.

This is such a great topic. And I cannot wait to dig in with Carolina. How are you today?

I'm good. Thank you, Holly, for having me. I'm so happy to be here. I'm a big fan of your podcast,

and I'm just so excited to be here today. Yay. I'm so glad that you're on today. And so I'm

going to introduce you. So Carolina Ramirez is a Latina licensed psychotherapist and parent coach.

She specializes in supporting parents and their diverse children and has worked with

individuals and families experiencing a variety of concerns.

Carolina also has a nine-year-old neurodiverse son, which I love.

Yes, thank you.

I agree. We are talking about something that can bring

everybody, really, because identifying our triggers and decreasing our own meltdowns is a

beautiful, beautiful thing. All right. Let's dive into number one, which is be curious about your own triggers.
