Autism Strengths and Capabilities

What's in this issue?

When you have an autistic child, it’s easy to look at friends’ and family’s children and compare. You notice milestones your child is missing, or see it’s taking them longer to master certain skills. Often, your time is spent focusing on their challenges, arranging therapy sessions, and trying new learning approaches. How often do you stop to celebrate your child’s strengths and capabilities? With the stresses of everyday life as a special needs family, it might not be as often as you'd like. Always remember though, every individual, no matter how differently abled, has something special to offer this world. Our theme this month is Autism Strengths & Capabilities, with a range of content celebrating the differences of children on the spectrum. Enjoy the read.
