How to care for a child with autism: A practical guide
“Doctor, my child was diagnosed with autism at two-and-a-half years. Understanding autism beyond symptoms Autism is not merely the presence of certain behaviors like speech delay, repetitive actions, or sensitivity to sensory input. It requires a commitment to evidence-based, outcome-oriented practices that address the core of autism: human engagement, and recognise the most vital role of parents, family and community more than doctors or therapists. A practical roadmap Instead of aiming for immediate improvements in the child's academics or speech, I believe that there's a need for an approach that fosters social behaviours and non-verbal communication as the foundation for further development of a child with autism. Empower parents to work with the child at home: Parents must take care to integrate learning into the child's daily routines, ensuring consistent and dynamic intervention at home.
