If you mean by being all into one thing, you could make questions themed with that certain thing. For example, if the child is really into dogs, you could ask a math question like this: "If there are 5 Golden Retrivers and 6 Dalmatians in a dog park and I choose one at random, which dog is more likely to be chosen?" You just have to be creative with the questions.
There's no such thing as a 'minor case of autism', you're either Autistic or you're not. If you are Autistic it is more likely that your children will be Autistic too as it is genetic.
You don't have a child with autism, you have an Autistic child - recognise their identity. Having an Autistic child isn't what makes you depressed, the fact you're ableist towards that child is making you depressed because you believe that child is worth less as an Autistic person.Get away from other 'Autism Moms'/'Autism Parents' and avoid organizations like Autism Speaks which see Autism as a bad thing, go talk to Autistic people and parents who are allies to their Autistic children so you get a better understanding of how to effectively care for your child and stop seeing them as some sort of burden. Your child is not to blame for your depression.
That's one thing to never take an autistic child to. Many parents have risked taking their autistic child to ABA therapy or therapies similar to ABA because seeing their child is nonverbal or they stim a lot, they have a hard time with communication. Autistic children do learn to communicate when they get older, but they still need to stim. ABA is something that prevents that and forces them to look normal. Most autistic children had experienced abuse from ABA. ABA takes away the energy in an autistic child. If autistic individuals are not allowed to stim- that even cause them to have lack of energy.
The best thing that you can do for your autistic child is to learn about autism from autistic people - completely and utterly ignore anything that organisations like Autism Speaks tells you about autism, they are known as a hate group by the autistic community and cause a lot of harm by spreading false information and negative messages about autism. Always presume competence and don't treat autism like it is a negative trait.
This needs to be determined by you and your husband. Are you willing to have another child with the possibly of autism again? Can you treat both children fairly, even if one was autistic and the other wasn't? Do you have the time and energy to devote to two children, one being autistic? If you want to two children, then you should have two. But you just need to make sure that you ask yourself these questions and make sure that you and your husband can agree with each others answers. Your childrens lives are more important and it is also extremely important that you can equally provide for all your children and that all your children are treated fairly. You also need to make sure that even though your first child may be autistic, that your second child is not neglected because of the extra attention needed to provide for your first-born.
There is no such thing as a person who can see the future, that is fantasy. Autistic people and savants are not psychics, they are just Autistic and/or savants.
The most important thing you teach child is to he indeoendant
No. Autistic is a medical condition. Adolescent means about the ages of eleven through eighteen.
The first thing you want to do is file a Due Process.
No, as an Autistic person I don't believe autism is a bad thing.Some of us are more severely effected than others and how we're effected can change throughout our lives, but even with unpleasant characteristics autism itself is not a bad thing. The thing that is bad about autism, for all Autistic people, is the misinformation and ableism towards autistic people.
Yes, you should tell your child that he is Autistic - he is Autistic, he does not have autism.Autism is not a bad thing, understanding who you are and that you're not the only one is beneficial as it can improve self-esteem and give a child who may otherwise feel like an outcast a community. If you're considering therapy to support your child then it also helps he understands why he's doing this, no one is trying to change him but trying to help him live in a neurotypical world.
How you cope with your Autistic sons behavior depends on what behavior he's displaying and what problems it is causing. One of the most important things to remember is that your child is Autistic, too often neurotypical parents of Autistic children try to force their children to act like they're neurotypical - this puts a lot of extra stress on a child so can make their Autism worse, but also it is telling your child you don't respect them. The more you work WITH your childs Autism the easier life will be for you, your child, and everyone else in your lives.
