Fathers: Top Ten List of Coping Skills

Fathers: Top Ten List of Coping Skills | Talk About Curing Autism (TACA)

1 This is war! Don’t kid yourself. This will be the most difficult thing you will do in your life – therefore it will also be the most rewarding thing you will do in your life. This is your chance to be a “hero.” You are your child’s champion.

2 No ego parenting. This is not about you. This is about your child. Withdrawal is the enemy! Stay engaged. Along the same lines – banish guilt! Firstly, your child’s autism is not your fault. If you believe it is, you’ve been lied to. Secondly, guilt will not help your child, it will only get in the way of you helping your child.
