Parenting-problems - Expressing the feelings by a child

The child with Autism has a different way of thinking or analysing the things. They will have multiple problems- expressive language problem, as they can't express properly themselves. Mostly the classical Autistic kids will not speak. They may say few words but without following the meaning.

The child who is borderline autistic, sometime speaks but he/she will not be able to express the feelings. As a result the parents will have tough time to understand what the child wants or needs

TIPS for Parents-
  1. Listen to the child carefully and dont get irritated on the child.
  2. Mostly the child repeats the same words and try to say something. (It is one of the symptom of autism)
  3. So to help him to express in proper word-
  4.    Give options or suggest some simple words to child. they find it very useful. I have tried this with my child. It works!!

Slow learners

There are various types of learning Disabilities in the children. Some Symptoms can be seen or observed during early childhood but some are seen later as they grow.
One of the serious type is  Autism- which is a spectrum disorder observed in the children. There is not much awareness about it either in the society or also in the medical profession. So it becomes very difficult for the family or parents to diagnose and handle this problem.
Autism is not a disease but it is a mental disorder and there is no proved cause or theory about why it happens!
So this platform can be used by parents to share their opinions about the Autism and associated problems.
