“How can I best support my child now that they have a diagnosis of autism?” If you are a parent asking yourself this question, you are not alone. It can be overwhelming to sort through the different options and to know which one is most likely to help your child develop the communication and life skills needed to grow toward independence. There are many options, and opinions, on how best to support autistic children. There is no single answer. It is best for parents to do their research and make decisions on what is best for their child. It can be helpful to reach out to other parents and to Autistic people who received the kind of therapy you are considering so you can learn about their lived experience and perspectives as you make decisions about your child’s care.
