Welcome to Episode 47 of the Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, Cass and Len explore the simple concept of: Ready. Aim. Fire. It’s a universally accepted sequence that gets results. But parents of a child often don’t follow this sequence.Often, parents start  taking action (Fire) before they’re prepared (Ready) and before they have clear targets (Aim).The sequence matters because there are always limited resources: time, energy, and money.And to make the most of those resources, it’s important to be effective.  That means taking informed action towards a clear, specific target.So “Fire. Ready. Aim.” doesn’t work.  Neither does: “Fire. Aim, Ready.”  And “Aim. Ready. Fire” falls short as well.Tune in now to learn more!The secret this week is Ready. Aim.
