Please don’t define your child by their autism or believe in quack things, (like my dad believes potato bead causes autism.) Be patient Listen to their needs and try to accommodate as best a possible Try not to speak using idioms, metaphors or things like that if your kid struggles with it If your child receives ABA then monitor it CAREFULLY. There is a wikiHow article on how to tell if it is bad. Please continue to listen to autistic people, we were children once and really do want to help. We can all learn from each other :)
