Autism Parent Handbook
"Once a diagnosis of autism is made, a myriad of questions arises. Why is this happening? What can I do? How will I cope? What will the future bring? Will I ever smile again? A roadmap is needed, a handbook to refer to when all seems overwhelming. The priorities are to begin the healing process and to start treatment. The way to ensure success is to begin with the end goals in mind.

COPING SKILLS FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM: Techniques to help Autistic Child Deal with Unexpected Emotions, Overstimulation and Stressful Situations
"Are you avoiding social occasions or play dates because you are afraid of how your autistic child will behave? Do you stay up late at night, worried that your child may struggle to make friends or progress academically? Do you worry that successful therapies for your child may involve time and money that you just don’t have? If the answer to these questions is “Yes,” know that you are not alone.

They may also struggle with problems like anxiety. You may be so overloaded with advice, information, and warnings from parents or friends that you feel frozen in the spot. But it is precisely when you feel most overburdened that the right coping skills can get you out of your rut – and the same applies to your child...."
