BEST OF SUMMER Series - Manic Moments; High Energy In Autism
Jun 12, 2025We’re revisiting one of the most talked-about episodes in our Best of Summer series—and for good reason.
High energy in autism can look a lot like manic behavior—impulsivity, intense pacing, non-stop movement, pressured speech, and stimming that just doesn’t let up. And when you're in it, it can feel like you're holding on for dear life.
In this episode, Shannon breaks it all down with real-life examples from her own journey raising Jordan. She shares practical strategies for managing those intense moments—from helping your child calm down at bedtime to creating safer spaces when they’re overwhelmed by energy they can’t regulate.

Join Shannon as she navigates the highs and lows of manic episodes, helping you better understand and support your child's unique needs. Whether you're dealing with constant pacing, pressured speech, or intense irritability, this episode is packed with valuable information to make your parenting journey a bit smoother. Tune in and remember, you're not alone on this journey—Shannon is here to support you every step of the way.
