Paula Report post Posted March 15, 2016 How to deal with him? Everones an individual so how i dealt with my son whoes now 22 may not work with youres. I took each day as it came starting afresh,i didnt ever and still dont bring up mistakes,tantrums whatever from the day before.I learnt to grit my teeth and bite my tongue some things just are and no amount of me banging on at my son changed certaine behaviours.I learnt to be patcient,to see the funny side ,i listened to what he was saying not how he said it,he tended to shout or appear very abrupt.I took nothing personal. Now hes older i realise things change just at a slower pace. I realised you cannot alter the core traites of autism so i didnt bother trying it is what it is. Acceptance,love,understanding,humour and hope thats what got us through. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
