Autism-World

At the present stage, the main approach of autism treatment is through education, and many parents do the trainings and therapies just for the problems that their children showed, the only thing they consider most is how to train the kid, however, they ignore the most important problem in autism, the social communication issue. There’s very few psychological counseling for parents with autistic children now, in fact, this is the most important part for parents when they get involved in autism treatment.

First of all, the special education concept should be updated.Some education experts have pointed out, special education for children should centered on survival ability. A person may have neither parents nor relatives, but he would not be possible to survive without friends, one cannot make a living in society without a working community environment. So, at first, our children should learn some basic living skills, social norms of behavior ability and the ability of social communication, then rise to learning cultural, knowledge level.

In second, what we give our children should be what they want. As a parent, you shouldn’t force a kid to learn and do stuff against his or her wishes. Children with special needs like autistic ones often experience instable emotional movements. In order to create a relaxed and happy learning environment, you should follow the child’s interests and guild them.

Third, teach children how to love other people and themselves. Because our children are weak, they accept more love and care than normal children, and what we ask them to so is much less than normal kids. If things go on like this, our children will hardly understand humility, they could become self-centered, egoistic person. Just imagine, one even don’t love parents how to love others, how to pay attention to help the people who need help? How can he continue to get other’s care and help?

In forth, the guardian should have their own space and time to ease the pressure, emotional regulation. Because the children take up too much of our time and energy, because there is such a child, we sacrifice social life, friends and interests, especially for those who quit job to educate children at home, the one autistic child become the whole world. If we live in this highly stressful conditions for a long time, the body will be destroyed, psychology situation can also be distorted, and without a good body how to take care of our children?

Hope, is the key for parent psychological counselling. As long as the child with autism is young enough, for example, 2 to 6 years old, we still have plenty of time to help them to live a normal, independent life.
