Autism is usually defined as a neural (brain) development disorder impairing a person’s social interaction and communication skills often manifested by restricted and repetitive behavior. Have you noticed these symptoms in your child? You might want to consult with a professional. Oftentimes it will be a very difficult news to hear if your child happens to be one. But here are ways how you can help your child.
If your child is not yet diagnosed with autism but you have seen signs, it is advised that you observe your child’s behaviors. The problems with consultation is that it’s only for a few minutes so you might need to record these manifestations so you can show the doctor. This way the doctor can recommend a prolonged observation of your child. Talk with your pediatrician so he can help you cope.
One very helpful information I found through the net talks about an Early Intervention Program which is a government-mandated free service for children with autism under the age of three.
Carefully choose your child’s school. School is going to play a big part in your child’s life so do some research on your prospect school’s policies for special children before you enroll your child. Go for the school that upholds legal rights of children in special education.
Your child needs you, but the less dependent he is to you, the better. You want him to be able to take care of himself, and perhaps maybe become capable to work and earn when he grows to be an adult. It is also important to remember that your child has to have meaningful relationships, and self-worth. Help your child make the most of his life by giving him the best support you can give.
