Dealing with children with special needs seem so difficult. Usually, children with autism are not active in their social lives. They want to be alone. Basically they need special treatment but how do we discipline them? How can we manage pity coming along our way when in fact we know that they need that special attention? Can they be treated like any other child?

Given proper intervention for the child, he’ll be able to cope not necessarily that perfect but they can be good at some point, they can be developed (according to the severity). They also excel, so keep them on tract, and discover what they are good at.

You have to figure out what kind of behaviour you child wants you to give him/her. They require certain treatment too in order for them to follow you. Never be afraid to discipline them. If they impose a bad behaviour, try to figure out what makes them stop. Usually, what makes them have tantrums is when they cannot communicate, they don’t have outlet for their thoughts and feelings. It would be helpful if you give them something where they could draw or color.

Impose rules, be firm and consistent on them. Don’t let your child rule over you. And if you run out of patience and you feel so stressed and depressed, try to relax. You can do something that will bring back your energy.

Don’t expect too much on your child. Accept the fact that doesn’t act like a regular child. Be happy for every achievement he accomplishes. Be supportive of him or her. Never ever let him feel he/ she is not part of the family. Spend time together with the members of the family.

These are just simple tips on how to deal with an autistic child. Acceptance is also one key. Don’t be one of those parents who are in denial. Accept the fact and be thankful for a precious gift from above.
