The Importance of Parenting a Child With Autism

The parenting spectrum is an ABC podcast. It's a weekly look at the issues affecting parents of children with autism and their families. This week, Jarrett shares his advice on how to deal with your autistic child. He says that it can be very difficult when you're told "look after the kid" You don't know what to do next because there are no support kits or information bags in place for those who have just been diagnosed. What he has learnt off making the parenting spectrum is that please listen to autistic voices and commentary as many autistics have so many incredible stories and ideas we can use to support our own child.
