  2. Find positive outlets for socially "unusual" behavior.

    Shouting may be frowned upon in many indoor places, but going to a park to do so is acceptable for children. An action that may be out of place in one location may be perfectly tolerable in another.

    Children with autism need sensory care, whether in the form of a strong hug or playfully rolled in a blanket.
  4. ...But avoid too much.
