As a parent of an autistic child, I got several things wrong so you don’t have to

Though many people who are parenting an autustic child are unable to figure out what to do, there are many tips to ensure you are a good parent to help your child. One thing is to make everything therapeutic so your child is able to perform things they enjoy but these activities are helping them at the same time. Another tip is to just keep swimming. It may seem like a hard job but if you work hard enough, your child will succeed.

Key Takeaways:

• As my writing has always been devoted to “learn from my mistakes so you don’t repeat my mistakes,” here are five bonks I made during the early years of parenting my autistic son that I hope you can avoid.
• Awareness lets people think it’s OK to say ignorant things like, “Oh, I heard you can cure autism with a bleach enema,” or “I’m so sorry about your son’sautism epidemic,” or even “Aren’t autistic people all
• Acceptance means rejecting the idea that there’s a “normal” child trapped inside your autistic child, for the sake of your child’s health, heart and soul — as well as your own.
