Keep it in perspective

Even if you weren't prepared for the day you'll learn your child has some degree of autism, we know it can be hard. But in the grand scheme of things, your child is physically healthy and surrounded by people who care and love him or her.

Talk to other parents of children with ASD
It can be a huge help speaking to others who've already been there. Talk to parents who already went through the path you're now starting. You'll find empowerment, resilience, and even hope.

Think practically

It's best to focus on what you can do, now that you've learned your child has ASD. And there's a lot you can do. Our organization has numerous programs in place to help you and your child achieve their full potential.

Stay optimistic
Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did. And maintain hope for a better future.
