  7. CHANGETHESITUATION, NOTTHECHILD Wheneverautismandrelateddisordersarediscussedinthemedia,theconversationoftencentersaroundautism being something that needs to be treated instead of managed. However, this simply is not the case. An autism diagnosis does not mean that your child is any less capable or less worthy than other children – they just experience life a little differently than the rest of us. Therefore, you can make your child’s life easier by understandingthatwhenyourchild’sbehavioriserraticorunpredictable,youneedtochangetheenvironment around them instead of the child’s behavior itself. For example, if you are in a loud or noisy environment that is causingyourchilddiscomfort–insteadofencouragingthemtostickitout–movetoaquieterplace,orprovide themwithnoise-cancelingheadphones. In short, there are various steps you can take to make your child’s life easier on a daily basis – many of which involvebeingopen-mindedandsupportive.Sometimes,simplyaskingyourchildwhattheyneedorhowyoucan makethingsbetterforthemcangoalongway.
