Dealing With The Challenges Of Raising Children With Autism
When many parents find out that their children have autism, the initial reaction may be of anxiety, denial or even anger. However, through education and a good support system, parents can learn to accept their child as he is and create the best possible environment for their autistic child.
Common Symptoms of Autism
The average parent realizes that something is different about their child by the time the child reaches 18 months of age. Autistic children usually find social interactions, verbal and nonverbal communication and pretend play very difficult. An autistic child may be especially sensitive to sight, touch, smell, hearing or taste and typically becomes extremely distressed over a change in her routine. She may also repeatedly perform specific body movements and may be unusually attached to certain objects.
