We all run into struggles in our day-to-day life.
However, during adolescence, these problems
often seem far worse than they actually are. This
is due to the fact that during this period in
our lives, weve yet to develop the appropriate
coping mechanisms and skill sets that enable us
to work towards a quick and easy solution to our
problems. As a result, children and teenagers are
more likely to feel overwhelmed when things get
tough.

CREATE A SAFE SPACE FOR THEM
SERVI CE 1
Whenever things get overwhelming, your child
with autism must be able to retreat into a space
where they feel safe and comfortable. This is one
of the easiest ways for your child to calm down,
especially if they are showcasing signs of a
meltdown.
01
SERVICE 2 Typically, it is advised that these
spaces are quiet and relaxing, with minimal
furniture or decorations used especially if
your child struggles with sensory regulation.
Furthermore, you should make it clear to your
child that they can use this space as often as
they like and that they dont have to ask for
permission to do so.

FOLLOW A ROUTINE
Establishing a clear routine is another great way
to make your child with autisms life easier, as
it removes the element of surprise from their
day. For children with autism or related
disorders, surprises can often be the cause of
great stress or discomfort, as they usually like
to know what they are doing ahead of time so
they can suitably prepare themselves. By putting
together a daily routine and discussing this
with your child youre helping them prepare
for what is ahead.

ENCOURAGE THEM TO ATTEND THERAPY SESSIONS
For children with autism and related disorders,
attending therapy sessions with a licensed
practitioner is a great way to help them develop
the skills they need to better manage their
symptoms and gain independence. For example,
speech therapy is a handy tool for children with
autism as it can help them to better communicate
with others and find their voice. In doing so,
they may also find it easier to discuss their
feelings and emotions meaning they can ask for
help when they need it.

CHANGE THE SITUATION, NOT THE CHILD
Whenever autism and related disorders are
discussed in the media, the conversation often
centers around autism being something that needs
to be treated instead of managed. However, this
simply is not the case. An autism diagnosis does
not mean that your child is any less capable or
less worthy than other children they just
experience life a little differently than the
rest of us. Therefore, you can make your childs
life easier by understanding that when your
childs behavior is erratic or unpredictable, you
need to change the environment around them
instead of the childs behavior itself. For
example, if you are in a loud or noisy
environment that is causing your child
discomfort instead of encouraging them to stick
it out move to a quieter place, or provide
them with noise-canceling headphones. In short,
there are various steps you can take to make your
childs life easier on a daily basis many of
which involve being open-minded and supportive.
Sometimes, simply asking your child what they
need or how you can make things better for them
can go a long way.
