  1. Top 5 Things that Your Child with ASD Needs

  2. Parenting or Caring for a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder? Do you understand and know • How they think? • How they learn? • How they respond to situations? • Why they react negatively to certain stimuli?

  3. #1: Children With ASD Need Respect • Autism is a complex, lifelong, neurological disorder, but it has no bearing on an individual’s self-worth and dignity. • Treat children with ASD with the same value and dignity as you would treat a neurotypical child. • Respect their individuality and accept that they will face challenges and difficulties.

  4. #2: Children with ASD Need to be Understood • There are underlying reasons for the challenging or problem behaviors in children with ASD. • Recognize the triggers and unique traits in your child with Autism and modify your parenting or caregiving style accordingly. • Avoid reactions or behaviors that could potentially crush their self-worth, dampen their imagination and creativity, or work against their ability and motivation to make progress.

  5. #3: Children with ASD Must be Celebrated for Who They Are • Children with ASD may think differently and their brains may react differently. Generalized techniques that work for neurotypical children may work against your child with ASD • Customize your style of teaching, disciplining, and boundary setting to suit your child’s unique needs. • Celebrate your child’s strengths, abilities, values, and perspectives and help them understand how they are different from other children, yet, just as special.

  6. #4: Children with ASD Need Unconditional Support • Strong parental support and positive reinforcements from peers and teachers can make a huge difference to the psyche and self-worth of children with ASD. • Address their anxieties and self-doubts early on and help them form a positive sense of self-worth and esteem through their developing years. • Keep close tabs on their group experiences where negativity and anxieties can set in, or if they start lacking a sense of belonging in that setting. • Give them unconditional love and support to build a strong foundation for positive life experiences and success.

  7. #5: Children with ASD Need Practical Help, Daily • Adopt practical parenting strategies in line with your child’s unique needs. Use techniques that help your child with ASD thrive. For example: • Be specific and articulate in your instructions. • Try to keep their daily schedule as consistent as possible. • Give them advanced notice of changes in their routine. • Teach to their strengths and build on what they are good at. • Involve them in environments where they can associate with other children with Autism, to foster understanding and friendships.

  8. Partner with your Child’s ABA Therapy Professionals • Participate in your child’s clinic-based or in-home ABA therapy sessions. Your active involvement could lead to: • Better therapy design—nobody knows or understand your child better than you • Opportunities to learn and practice new techniques and parenting strategies • Consistency in cues and extension of therapy beyond the formal sessions
