As the community of autism has grown over the years, so have the many different types of approaches to working with individuals with autism. Some of the approaches are rooted in research whereas others are rooted on hope. One thing that is absolutely certain is that every child on the spectrum is unique and that there is no single way to help every child.
We believe that you must first understand the individual before jumping into an approach. You have already done most of the work. You know your child better than anyone out there. Now you need to get the most out of that knowledge. Family Autism Support will help you do that.
One cannot assume that an individual with autism can't do something. There are living examples of people who have spoken about their lives growing up with autism. Their words and experiences have taught us so much. Many children with autism have gone on to become doctors, teachers, scientists etc... It is essential to respect each child's potential.
