Don't ever lose hope!
You may frustrated, exhausted, angry, confused and concerned about how
to treat your child or other loved one and what to do to help them.
If it is Autism, Aspergers, PDD, ADHD, or any other developmental
disorder, it should not ruin you and your child's life. It is not a
curse - it is just a variation that can be worked around your life.
You and Your Loved One CAN still BE CAPABLE OF leading a Joyful,
Secure, Peaceful, Triumphant and Fruitful Life just in a surprisingly
different way. It won't ever be easy but it will be better.
SO please don't be in constant despair. Just start to think of your
child or person who has a developmental disorder be it Autism or
otherwise.
If YOU are still concerned about a child or a loved one you know that
may be displaying weird behaviour, under developing, language delay,
or anything that is concerning you and all you want to know is if any
of these Signs and Symptoms of Autism? Check out my article: "Are You
Concerned That Your Child Has Autism? 22 Signs and Symptoms of Autism
to Look Out."
Believe me; I am aware of what you might be going through because not
long ago I was in the same place wondering what is going on with my
child!
You should be finding more about what to do to help your child as soon
as you think that they may have a problem, whether it happens to be
Autism or any other developmental disorder.
- Learn to spot main signs and symptoms to lookout for - Start to
Understand what Autism Means - Learn about other Disorders related to
Autism - How a child is affected by the Autism condition - What can be
done?
ALL this is useful to know, learn and help your child. Knowledge is
power and putting this knowledge into action will help you and your
child's future. BUT Early INTERVENTION is the beginning and the key!
Intervening early or as soon as possible by helping your child and
getting professionals such as speech and language therapists,
physiotherapists and any one that can help to be involved at this
early stage, you could actually help your child and their future.
Letting others know about the condition and to seek help for your
child so that early intervention can be taken immediately is the best
chance to see success and rewards for your child's future.
I must keep repeating that early intervention is the best possible way
to cope with this disorder. Early Intervention will vastly improve
your life and most important your child's life.
Believe me, I have been there and done this. Just by early
intervention you are able to get your child:
? To understand what communication means ? To learn to point ? Teach
why it is important to communicate ? To learn to better cope with
everyday demands ? To be less dependent on you or a Guardian ? To cope
with school (possibly a mainstream school) ? Learn to socialize with
others ? Feel comfortable in a situation with other children early
on ? To learn to play in an appropriate manner ? Learn to cope better
with the challenging life
AND improve the quality of your and your loved one's life.
Although the quality of your life will change dramatically and has
already, it can only be improved by early intervention. I am not
saying that everything will be sorted out and life will be similar to
a family with children with no disorders, NO this will not happen but
you can dramatically help your child to look towards a better future
than live in hopelessness. From my own experience I can say that early
intervention is the key to helping a child with Autism or any other
developmental disorder. Don't ever lose hope!
