What are the things parents of autistic children must know while parenting- especially first time parents.
I realised autism is part of my child, it made me a mother, not just a mother, a neurotypical mother parenting an autistic child. I grew to love autism and not be scared. Autism positivity is an important advocacy for me, and I never let my voice go unheard when it comes to that topic. Having a child with autism meanings opening your heart to a wilder picture. Awareness helps parents to understand their autistic children better. There are many people who still do not understand autism and the social media isn’t doing anything better to change that. Awards ensures understanding, which in turn opens the door to acceptance. All these foster actions form he parents. Helping their child get involved in activities and help them to be well inclusive, socially.
For many children, positive feedback and encouragement can be a motivating and very effective form of discipline. The same is true for children on the spectrum. All too often, parents fall into the trap of monitoring and correcting behaviors without always acknowledging when their child is displaying positive actions. Good compliments and appraisal go a long way when parenting kids on the spectrum.
Celebrate quirks and talents, I believe every autistic child’s quirks are special in their own ways. So great attention to your child and learn hi or her talents, and help them t reinforcing the talents. Instead of dealing with denial, focus on your child’s strengths
Enhance peer relationships, we are all social beings and need continual interaction with others to develop. Depending on the stage of development, school offers children with Asperger’s syndrome and their peers opportunities for building social networks and meaningful relationships. Having your child ride the bus or have sleepovers with a classmate is a great start.
