Everyone is different…The same goes for Autism:

• The Power Of Validation: Try working validation into the way you interact with and support your child. Just remember: there’s a difference between encouragement and validation.
• Reframe Your View: Autism can come with strengths that shine the best when recognized and utilized in the right way. How can we frame support to highlight your child’s strengths?
