Autism is a diagnosis that's feared by parents whose beloved child's development seems off.

Dr. Theresa Lyons, a scientist and autism parent and expert, has lived this life. She and Dr. Margaret discuss what it was like, how she coped, and the professional and personal advice she has to offer.

"I knew something was wrong with my daughter. I just had this intuition. This knowing. That things just weren’t going right. My daughter was developing but there was just something not right. I had a nagging feeling and everyone kept telling me to ignore it and that everything’s fine but I ignored myself and that’s what I get really mad about."

Self-blame - when it happens way too much - can be paralyzing.

• You were blamed as a child so it's become part of your own punishing self-critic which can lead to self-sabotage.
• You were manipulated or are being abused and you take the blame to "keep the peace" and become submissive.
• You take the blame for something that's happened to you in order to irrationally regain some sense of control.
• You're perfectionistic and are constantly looking for even the smallest of mistakes that your inner critic pounces on to shame and blame you.
• You need affirmation so you take blame that doesn't belong to you as a way of getting that kind of attention.
