5 Tips on How to Handle an Autistic Child
4. Talk to the child often
You may not get a response, but that does not mean the child is not listening to you. Talk to the child as much as possible and when you are talking to an autistic child, make the sentences short and to the point. The autistic child will not be able to process subtlety or longer sentences. Make the sentences shorter but do not make it sound like an order.
5. Encourage the hidden talent in the child
Every child, especially an autistic child has a hidden talent that should be channelized. Find out the talent of the child and nature it and encourage the child to do more of the same. Always remember that you can never make them do anything by force.
Handling an autistic child requires a lot of patience and love. You also need to understand that their tantrums are not on purpose but it is just a reflection of their inability to communicate what they are feeling.
