What should parents do when they know that their child has autism?
Parents need to have consultation with the professionals (Pediatrician, Psychiatrist, etc.) To get better idea or references to help the child. First they have to understand what the needs of the child are so as to find the appropriate therapy. Commonly used therapy strategies are those that deal with behaviour, sensory motor and speech issues but there are many therapy and intervention strategies that can be done to meet the needs of children with autism.
