How to deal with an autistic child
Autism and the spectrum disorder is not disorder which should be confused with the other neurological disorder that impair the growth of a child. Actually autism should not be coined as a disorder at all, as with autism a child can still lead a normal life but with adult help. So parent should not be disappointed or panic for their autistic child. Rather they
should find ways to deal effectively with a autism. Here are some common pointers as to how to deal with autism or autism spectrum disorders.
1) Firstly autism should be dealt with with positive affirmation. One thing a parent can give to their children is immense love and affection. Never the love and affection of the parent should be replaced with any other ingredient of parenting. However erring or different your child should be from other children you should never refrain form sharing your love or care with him. This builds a very good relationship between you and your child and and fosters affection and as well ever lasting attachment with your child. You will relish this relationship later as you grow old.
2) Secondly you should as a parent start the process of identification or alphabets and numbers for your autistic child early. The common thinking that autistic child can not excel in studies is myth and I have personally found out after working several autistic children that they with supports and structured learning they can indeed excel in studies and for that you as a parent should talk to the concerned teachers and chalk out a structured learning program for your child so the child find it easier to memorise and learn the abstract concepts of subjects that are taught in class.
3) Thirdly even if your child does mix up with other children or fail to establish eye contact nevertheless you should ask and encourage the child to play around with children of their age. Slowly the child with autistic trait will learn to adjust an I have found out that they indeed can socialise.
4) Also care should be taken when children with autistic spectrum gets violent or throws tantrums as they don't know or realise that it its because of different wiring of brain that causes them to be violent sometimes. At those distressed times let you child express their anger but be careful if they are overly too violent. Then you must dial for help.
