As a parent or carer one of your primary goals is to support your child, whatever age they are, to live their best life and realise their full potential. But it can be difficult as a parent to put yourself in your child’s shoes – to understand their perspective and experience. If you are struggling to understand the unique experience your autistic child has of the world, or you do not know how to interpret what their behaviour is communicating, it can be particularly challenging.
While every person is an individual and has different needs, we know that certain things support the thinking and learning styles that characterise the autistic brain.
We receive so many concerns from families about behaviour:
We hear you! We see you! We want to help!
