Parents who have autistic children face unique challenges in raising their kids.

Here are 10 tips to help parents of autistic children

  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.
  3. Provide sensory input...

    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.

    If your child's autism makes him or her react strongly to things like carnivals or parades, stay away from those situations whenever possible. If you can't, try a distracting sensory toy like a teddy bear to hug. ...
