All Autism

This episode focuses on the question, "When is it time for a change?" This can be applied to your child's schooling, outings, groups, classes and any other time when a big decision is necessary. Remember that the key to finding solutions is you. If you've been over-stressing what is best for your child with autism, the answer may be standing right in front of you. Ask yourself, "Are you afraid to make the necessary changes?" If the answer is yes, then you need to take an outsider's point of view on your situation. Get out of your own head and look at it from a non-emotional stance. Don't make decisions based on emotions alone. Research all the facts, gather the necessary information, use the correct amount of emotion and then make your move.
