The Importance of Supporting Autism Diagnosis
I think that's part of the social challenge for adults supporting other adults even is just being afraid to acknowledge that their child has an autism diagnosis and so then we're afraid to acknowledge there's a difference. We can better learn how to engage and not get so afraid because I think that is what builds the distance between families. Having these play dates and getting together if we look for strengths of the children with autism like ask them what's their favorite thing to do, it will bring out the best in them. So at school we try to make lunch clubs around their strengths that they like Pokemon or they like drawing or they like ball basketballs or whatever the activity are.
