Many autistic children have difficulties withthe feeling of swallowing food let alone pills. I would get any meds that I could prescribed in a liquid form and as for the rest I would just crush them and mix with something you are fairly certain they will eat or drink all of.

∙ 13y agoTell the child that he can get a special treat after wards if he eats the pill.
Talk to the pharmacist. They may be able to provide the medicine in another form, usually a liquid.
Do not EVER tell a child that medicine is candy. It may cause the child to eat large quantities of pills thinking it is candy and cause them to poison their self.

Do kids with autism freak out when other kids cry?
Kids with autism can 'freak out' when other kids cry, all autistic people are different. Autistic people have lower levels of cogitative empathy, meaning that they may struggle to recognise emotions in others or acting appropriately in response compared to neurotypical people, however autistic people have significantly higher levels of affective or 'true' empathy compared to neurotypical people. This means that autistic people can be very sensitive to the emotions of others, when they are able to recognise others are upset it can make autistic people very upset too.

You can't - autism is an absolute, you are either autistic or you are not and there is no way that a person can become 'less autistic'.

Good question! I have a autistic family member. I would say a autistic child would need more attention then most kids. As of, affection and definitely caring more. Just have to be patient and take your time and make sure they get the health and education benefits as any other kid would. :)
