How to Help an Autistic Person in Your Life

If your child is diagnosed as autistic, please just accept and embrace that they were born autistic and they will die autistic. Do not fall into the trap of expecting it to change or get better. Acceptance is the biggest, most important tip. It isn't a disease. It cannot be cured. It is who we are. I can tell you right now. You've got to give it time to recover as well. Time to rest so we can feel comfortable enough to reenter the world that just melted us down. Does that make sense?
